Siiiiiiiiiigh.
I've reached the part of the week where I have to feel stupid and inept. It happened today. I was working the reference desk for the second time ever (I was really supposed to be observing-- but people were walking away and letting me give it a try, I guess), and I found myself lacking in helping abilities. I answered many more questions than I didn't, but I just felt silly overall. Mainly, I felt like the weird girl no one knows who doesn't know how to be anything other than quiet and mousy around new people. It's so odd how the real you can hide away and refuse to present itself when you most need its help. Damn you, personality. Anyway, I think it was mostly perceived and probably the result of being sleepy and overloaded with new information this week. I really have loved being at the library most of the time, regardless of what I was doing. I could use a real at-work friend, though!
Among my fun discoveries this week are the online exhibits offered by special collections. One of my favorites so far is this one. Lakeland was much more awesome back in the day, it seems. Swing at the Crystal Lake Pavilion sounds like good times. I am jealous.
