which I am currently like, sooo into.
Life is books and cupcakes and html and CSS and exercising to compensate for all the cupcakes and trying to soak up as much Vitamin D as humanly possible. The weather has been super-beautiful for the past few days so I true to save up reading assignments and then lay lay lay like a reptile in the sun (remember that lady at that service project where we ran out of things to do?) I don't cook enough, for all the complaining I did last year about the lack of a real kitchen. Baking isn't cooking.
I ran for president of the Rutgers Assoc. of Student (School) Librarians (they only have one S in their name though, which irritates me). And I did not get it. My best guess is that my speech about not worrying so much about speakers about jobs and the future and instead focusing on service and outreach was not what people wanted to hear, as evidenced by one person saying to the current president "We all really appreciate all the speakers you brought in". Oops. Anyway I've said all along that the people in almost every other type of librarianship are much chiller. So I'm going to try to start a Librarians For Good group that is service-oriented. Amazingly no other group has that name right now. Thank you, google. My plan is to seek out the other Americorps alum in my classes and hope that she'll be on board. Now I just need to think about things to do aside from book-themed cupcake-oriented bake sales to raise money and book drives and tutoring. Maybe that's enough for now.
I need a job for the summer.
I went for a run the other night and felt like I was struggling towards the end. Then Halo came on and I pictured doing karaoke to it with all y'all who are planning to visit in May (incl. Nick in spirit) and I got so distracted by it that I wasn't struggling as much. For real, it happened like that.
In that vein I still get lonely here. Too many friends all over the place sometimes. SF, Atlanta, Washington, wherever Emily is putting her very short roots down at the time, and from my past life Boston and Miami. If I lived in a less-connected time in history it would be worse. If I didn't have who I have here it would be much much worse. That being said I have failed to fully bond with library school people. I like a bunch of them, it's just not the same. Maybe my service group will help.
Do I say I miss everyone everytime I post? I think I might. What a nerd.
My name is Erinn, my favorite part of a park is the swings, and my goal today is to give a really great book talk. Go one.
