Madam Librarian
I have attained a post at the Alliance Francaise library. Every Tuesday, now, you can find me in the French Cultural Center's library on Dearborn and Chicago. :) I sum up my feelings about this in one word: SQUEE!
I enjoy being here very much. I am often more shy than I should be, as it has been a moment since I really have spoken. I mean...I can...and I should...I just...lack so much in the way of vocabulary sometimes it's frustrating trying to understand. And/or the speaker moves too rapidly and gets frustrated and switches to English when I can't keep up. Invariably...their English is better than my French. :-\ Not for always, though...
Which brings me to why I am here - I intend to take classes again to bring myself back up to speed. I think what really needs to happen is I need to go live there, but...since that can't happen at this moment, I am doing ce que je peux.
And because volunteering here, I always feel thrown into the deep end for each new task...I am writing a manual for the library volunteer spot. Does that make me a huge nerd? Quite possibly. But I'm good at it, and if I can avoid having someone else feel like they've been tossed in with no life vest...then I'm gonna. ;)
