For a number of reasons, I decided not to take any library school classes this summer.
1. Work is quite busy, due to Summer Reading being a huge initiative in New York City, and due to me being what they call a YA (young adult) Librarian. Meaning not that i myself am young, (although if you want to think of me as young, please feel free, be my guest), but rather that I technically work with young adults.
2. School in summer is collapsed into six weeks of twice a week per class, with the best classes being for some mysterious reason in the middle of the day, making it difficult for those of us who commute two hours one way.
3. I would just like a break from things that are Due. Know what I mean? On one hand, I am the type that typically only gets things done when they are Due (witness my Happiness pathfinder, witness my passport application, witness all my assignments in high school, college, and beyond)... BUT. I think it would be good for me to work differently, even if just for a summer.
SO…... my next entry on this topic will lay out some of the courses I am tempted to sample… Hoping that I may gain some compadres in my summer un-studies!
