OH MY GOD, OJT, O D'YOS KO! (Part 1)
I think that this is a spontaneously well-planned semester. The schedule that I set for school incidentally worked out right. I decided to take LIS 199 and 181 thinking that I'll be able to accomplish researching while doing library and restoration work.

Apparently I think we "practicumers" are going to catalog the wall of compact discs inside the music room. It's not really a hard task to do since we are going to use the ILIB cataloging interface and not write or use a "makinilya."
So I started cataloging by the way we are also allowed to search the materials in the LOC website and Worldcat then we can just use the informations provided in short "copyloging." I finished 8 cds in my first four hours. Cataloging is a skill that when you regularly do it becomes easy .
Speaking of easy, after I finished my library work, I went to do restoration, the moment I opened the room that instant i didn't know what to do... TO BE CONTINUED
