Thank you for not damaging me.

I am continuing to work on the ankle-deep paper trail called graduate school applications. However, I am finishing the last few essays and applications to UNT and TWU as I write this. Wish me luck.

Lots of bits and pieces are in the mix. I've been reading like a maniac and just completed This Book is Overdue! by Marilyn Johnson. It is a book on librarianship, specifically contemporary issues and practices within librarianship. I flew through this book, loving the chance to absorb all the aspects of librarianship that will become part of my future. Enlightening, as much as informative, I don't know if I've ever become more confident about a decision. Specifically, this book made me realize the positive decision to pursue library science in graduate school. Perhaps I will change my mind once I'm in the crux of the degree. However, half the battle was getting up the proverbial mountain to see the next valley to conquer. I'm proud to put a flag at the top before descending into the newness of graduate school.

I'm still working on a new project based around my experiences in the information world. This will include, hopefully, a zine of my own creation, a new blog, and links to information of interest in the world of library science. Stay tuned, I hope to develop this into the summer.

I have also been working on creating some handmade books. A new design below is based on the soil stratigraphy I studied in archaeology as an undergraduate student. This should be coming to Etsy very soon, once I develop a few more designs.

See Jane make books!



Thank you for encouraging me.
