And this bequest of wings

My parents left this morning. :( I am hopefully going home for a bit in August, but that seems ages away right now. Though if I can just finish up the term without exploding, then I will have the NASM internship to distract and delight me (I hope!). :D

Happy National Library Week:

--> 18 Sexy Trips to the Library Stacks <--

and a library poem:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He ate and drank the precious words,
His spirit grew robust;
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was dust.
He danced along the dingy days,
And this bequest of wings
Was but a book. What liberty
A loosened spirit brings!

~ Emily Dickinson
