Christine The Librarian

I think it's just the season for keeping a low profile. A few of my frequent-poster friends have been taking a hiatus from livejournaling and opting for the outdoors and for that I offer a hefty hip hip hooray...even if it does mean knowing less about what people are up to. I've been taking a hiatus as well though I don't know that I've been ( Read more... )

Three words:

'BOUT.

FRICKIN'.

TIME.

*That's* what I'm talkin' 'bout! Yeeha!

a.k.a. You go girl! I couldn't be more excited for you. Wait, yes I can...

Aw thanks. All I can say is that it takes time to really figure out what you want to do, especially when you have an original dream that's lacking steam. I'd like to have a career I can enjoy and afford to get a house someday with Jason while continuing to do my art on the side. It just seems like the most reasonable plan.

Sean has a friend who's a librarian with the TPL. Would you like me to see if I can get in touch with him to get in touch with you and give you advice?

I wanted to be a librarian for a while. :/ But I had one (not even the first, not the last) of my existential crises and ended up at George Brown. Still, that path led me to here, and if I weren't here, I might not know all of you, so it's good. But! Librarian!

I think you would have been happy as a librarian, but I definately understand those crisises. It's what has held me back from school for so long myself. My first stint at university was horrible and I hated it. I don't think I was ready for it at that time because I didn't know what the point of it was. I wanted to be creating art, not reading books! ;) (Fortunately my mindset has changed dramatically since then). Paths are funny things and I'm happy to have met you too!
I'd love to speak with this acquaintence of yours eventually. I just need to do some more research on the program first before I go out and take up his time. Can I let you know when I'm ready to talk to him? I think it would be great to get some advice from someone in the field. I really appreciate the thought!

No worries. Let me know when you're ready. (If you want to peek, his username is "harnums", I think.)

Whenever I start to think "if only I'd …", I scold myself with the thought of the friends I wouldn't have.

Honey, I am the *Queen* of woulda, shoulda, coulda. It's ironic to me that all those years when I was suffering back in university I cursed my plight of not being enrolled at OCAD or taking time to travel and doing all the things my peers seemed to be enjoying, and now that I'm out on my own and free to make my own decisions and faced with the prospects of maybe doing some travel or going to OCAD to study art as I always wanted, I'm opting for UofT and I would not have had the option as I do now to upgrade towards a Masters if I hadn't gone through my first 4 years there. I just really needed some time to come around to it and though I've felt pretty miserable at times I'm really loving how it's all coming round now. However, I do not want to count all my chickens yet. I do not want to comem away from my experiences without having at least learned that lesson.

Btw, I wanted to thank you for giving me that lamp-- Jason brought it over last week and I meant to send you a thank you, so I'm doing it now-- THANK YOU!!
