Snow, Snow, and more SNOW!!

I have been in Texas way too long! I am freezing up here, and we're only in Indiana! This weekend we will be futher north in Michigan! Right now there is about 6 inches of snow on the ground, so I am glad that I packed my boots. But I need warmer socks, so Wal-Mart here I come. I will post pictures later once they are developed so that you all can see.

Also, check out my other blog for news on my 2nd interview request. I'm so excited! If you have any advice, please e-mail me!!

Catch ya later!

Tomorrow is graduation!

Well, I have left San Antonio for graduation, then North for Christmas, then on to D.C. We are staying at an R.V. park with my parents near TWU. Picked up the tickets for the ceremony, ironed my outfit, picked up my cap and gown. I can't wait until tomorrow. I just hope the weather is better than today. Rainy and grey and cold. Fun!

I'll post pictures of graduation soon!!

I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!

I just turned in my last final exam!! I am so done with school! It's been a long and grueling two years, but totally worth it now that I will officially be a librarian. I can't wait to get out to D.C. and find a job. Check out my other blog for job hunting progress: http://jobhuntinglibrarian.blogspot.com/.

Now, since school is finished, I have to pack up my house, attend graduation, finish the Christmas shopping, visit folks in Michigan, find a place to live in D.C., and get a job! Not too much, eh?

Good-bye San Antonio Public Library!!

Well, tomorrow is my last day working for the Central branch of the San Antonio Public Library. I have been there for 2 1/2 years, working in the Reference and Readers' Advisory department. I had a lot of fun there, working in such a unique place. Here are some pics from my time at SAPL! Enjoy!!

I am so LAZY!!

I have three days off, three days to get stuff done. What do I do? NOTHING!! Yesterday I sat around reading and watching T.V. all day. Today, so far, the same. I have tomorrow off as well, but I have no choice, I have a Weight Watchers meeting to go to, though I probably gained. I can't stop eating! Maybe that is because I'm LAZY!! Just wanted to get that out! Later!

I have another blog...

I created another blog for my job hunting in the D.C. area. Please check it out and make comments! It's for librarians, but as my friends, it would be nice if you visited and left me a note!!!

I decided to start this because job hunting sucks. I need an outlet for my triumphs and disasters. I want to share what I have learned in all of this so that others are not discouraged when it takes forever to hear back!! When I applied in San Antonio, it took them 8 months to call me for an interview. 8 freaking months!! So, I'm in for a long and bumpy ride. A blog was the perfect solution!!

So please check it out!! Job Hunting Librarian

Working with teens...

A co-worker at SAPL left for Nashville a couple of weeks ago and I am filling in for her in the teen department, Youth{Wired}. I'll be here 3 days out of 5, helping at the desk and with programs. Great chance for me to get some experience with teens and to become more comfortable with them. You can visit their website here, and they have a Flickr page too. It's a fun department with some great kids. Tonight we are making earrings, for Halloween. Too bad the skull beads didn't get here in time 'cause the boys might have made some too. Oh well.

Trying to catch up on homework today. Reading The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman, a graphic novel about a Holocaust survivor. It won a pulitzer prize. It's really good, and it's a true story. The author just made the characters mice instead of humans. People thought he was crazy for creating this but it started a lot of talk about graphic novels. This book has two stories in it, A Survivor's Tale and Here My Troubles Began. If you have never picked up a graphic novel, this is a good one, very easy to follow, and very interesting.


So, my life consists of homework, work, more homework, and latenight games to relax my brain. I like playing Stronghold. You get to build stuff in it. You also have to fight using an army, but I'm finally getting the hang of it.
