On the last day of Immersion, the faculty entertained us. So Silly.

“Back Voice!”
“I’m craving pizza.”
“Sleepin’ on my slab.”
Immersion was great. I’m way to completely brain dead to say anything coherent about it now, but I’m glad I came. Tomorrow morning I’ll head back to Minnesota (and away from this 100+ degree weather). I sure hope this trip goes better than last time’s trip.
Today I spent the afternoon at the New England Aquarium (one of the few places I remember vividly from when I lived here 16 years ago). What fun to realize that that it really is as cool as I remembered.
I even got to see the same deep-sea turtle that was there the last time I was there. She’s getting up there. Myrtle the Turtle is about 70 years old now, and she’s been at this aquarium since it opened. (More pictures of Immersion are here, and of the aquarium are here.)
Bowling is good, especially when you’re with a whole bunch of other librarians and the entire place (pool tables, 10 lanes, and food) are provided for you and only you. We each got one free drink, too, but quite a few people weren’t drinking, so a several people got LOTS of free drinks. That was kind of amusing.
Of course, bowling would have been a lot less hilarious if it had been actual bowling and not candlepins (which I haven’t played since I was 11). Those tiny little bowling balls and the skinny little pins sure do make the game a challenge, especially for those who were benefiting from the generosity of the non-drinkers in the bunch.
10:00 came sooner than we thought it would, though, and we all had to troop back to campus in our big ol’ touring busses. Now the next challenge is to get myself into a sleepy state so I can get all rested, fresh, and ready for another morning of classes.
[Update: Jason is the only one I know who took his camera along, and he’s posted his photos here.)

I’ve finally started puting things up on flickr. You can see the beginnings of my Immersion photo set here. I haven’t explained anything yet, so many of the pictures won’t make any sense… but that’ll come.
My favorite is one I snapped while at Midway. It just seemed to fit me so well.
