Yesterday was the first session for my class on backcountry skiing. Not only was it a beautiful day, but apart from some icy areas, the powder was great. So happy – I’d forgotten how much I love skiing!

I just made appointments for visiting two of the schools I’ve been thinking about, the Monterey Institute and the Garvin School. Both focus on international trade/affairs and offer decent scholarships to Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. The visits will be in February and April. Plus I’m also looking at the Drucker School for two reasons: 1) it sounds like they follow the same Oxford/liberal arts model as my undergrad and 2) A friend sent all three of her sons to the Clairemont Colleges and has said that they had better luck with scholarships/financial assistance at that school than if they’d gone to a state school.
It’s a little exciting and a little scary. My reasons for getting more serious about it are realizing that I need more skills/training to make the transition from libraries into work that is more satisfying/challenging and ideally better paying. I really have a lot of admiration for people who’ve managed to parlay their MLIS experience into doing something else, but I just need to deal with the fact that I’m going to have to go back to school to make it happen.
