I meant to come on today and write all the worrying thoughts I had this morning, the fear that this MA will be teaching all over again. That I have become a quitter. But I find I can't. I started writing my statement for it. I managed to say why I wanted to do this. Really it's this: I love libraries. But why I love 'em, I'm not sure I've been false with the truth, but I've certainly been elaborate. It's not the final version either though. Too disjointed but at least I've started to think about it. And y'know, if it's only boring, that's not so hard to deal with so long as I get a good end result and something I can do for a living. It's not following the dream, but it's certainly hoping to become a part of one... how do I know what's really my dream if I don't try. (a Feather thought that is)
'Dreams die gently in your sleep'
I wrote that when I was just an early adolescent, but I didn't know much then beyond being obsessed with a specific person. I name no names, but dreams are even harder to deal with when you don't know what they are.
Here endeth the lesson
Had a lovely long IM chat with Bubblegum today. Was nice. She seems a bit down, must be hard to be so far from everything you're used to, no matter the fun things you get to do. Was nice to feel she was almost close by.
Still lookin forward to Feather's b-day and the coven roundup...
I'm sorry I haven't said more about my first day at the library. It WAS a pleasant experience, but I guess it was kinda over before it started. I only work 9 till 2. The people were lovely and INTERESTED in me (never happens when you temp), and the work is detailed but not hard, which doesn't mean I can do it all yet... Will tell you more after tommorow (an extra day I'm doing to prep for saturday), and after saturday
hugs all
feather,
bubblegum,
