It’s the roughest week of the year<\/strong> for this librarian.<\/p>\n

First week of school. I’ve already done my orientations (a lecture and walk-through for Bible school students, a walk-through for seminarians). I’m training two new assistants (most years I have a junior and a senior assistant, so there’s only one to train at a time. But things happen). And I have a lecture to do on writing academic papers, tomorrow (I’ll be doing that with less practice than I hoped). And I’m putting together an article on the Reformation in Norway, for the Georg Sverdrup Society newsletter, deadline coming up.<\/p>\n

Oh yes, I sell textbooks, too.<\/p>\n

I’m not complaining. The days go quickly, and I’m not bored.<\/p>\n

I also agreed, in a preliminary way, to tutor a seminary student in Norwegian. But that won’t happen (if it happens at all) until next year.<\/p>\n

Oh yes, the Viking Age Club <\/strong>will be at the Nordic Music Festival<\/a> in Victoria, Minnesota this Saturday. I’ll be there if I have any strength left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
