(no subject)
Blech. I'm sick. Again. One of the, ah, joys of working in the children's section is catching whatever plague germs is are (ETA: Great subject/verb agreement there, Muse.) going around the elementary schools. I'll be glad when I'm out of there for good and my health improves. I've never had allergies before I started working there, but with all of the dust and mold...ugh. It's been pretty bad lately because people have been bringing books in by the cart load to sell and most of them are really very shitty (sometimes literally)--attic and garage books, mostly. I think it's because the weather's been so nice and money is so tight, though it's not really worth the gas to bring in five boxes of rat shit-covered Reader's Digest condensed books for a whopping dollar.
Speaking of getting out of there...
I'm taking my GRE on the nineteenth. I'm excited and terrified and worried. My GPA wasn't great, so I'm hoping to do very well on the GRE to make up for that. Then I'll be applying to library science schools. Out of the three schools in Texas that offer the degree, two are completely online. There's also Wayne State in (ironically) Michigan that's online and I'll be looking for others. An online program isn't ideal--I'd much rather get one-on-one help whenever I need it, but I can't afford to move and I don't want to leave Wolf behind, even if it's only for a few years. I have no idea what the competition is like for MLIS degrees, but I hope it's not that great. Not that I'm doubting myself.
Okay, I'm totally doubting myself.
