i’m still blustering through
maura @ 8:08 pm
I have two more things to do and then the semester is over. How crazy is that? Then I will be 80% librarian, 20% non. That’s a pretty good ratio.
I’ve mentioned before how much I love library school, right? It’s been excellent. I’m learning cool new stuff every day, meeting interesting people, going to fun places (well, fun for those who love libraries, at least!). But I’m also getting a little antsy, more and more ready to have a job again. I love the variety of my days + tasks, classes + internships, but sometimes the running all over the place is tiring (thank god for the unlimited metrocard!).
On the other hand, I’m a little sad to only have 2 classes left. The other day I was asking a friend what she’s taking in the fall and she mentioned a class on scholarly communication that one of my favorite professors is teaching. So I took a look at the fall schedule. Why? Why did I do this? I’ll be finished in August, it should not matter to me! But I found myself wistfully looking at the classes offered in the fall, constructing an imaginary schedule for myself.
I am a giant nerd, I know. Which I guess is a huge part of why I want to be a danged librarian in the first place. For the learning. And the cardigans.
What’s the point of all this? I’m not sure, but I hadn’t blagged for a while and I thought you might miss me. Also I wanted to reassure you that I hadn’t spent the past few days cleaning my keyboard. We’ll return to our semi-regular posts about semi-interesting stuff next time.

Those posters are hilarious! On the American Library Association’s website you can find all kinds of templates for making swag for whatever the current public library promotional campaign is. Also sometimes I get a library swag catalog in the mail! Very funny.
Plus you could get a job as a Watcher!
Remember those cool library “read” posters? The librart at work had one of Antonio Banderes reading Don Quixote…I think (honestly, who was paying attention to the book?) Very cute!
