Timelies all!
My folks are coming through town this weekend on their way to Florida. Hopefully the house is clean enough...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Good points, everyone!! I think I've tightened it up considerably. I added on ", as well as pass on that new knowledge to co-workers and others" to expand on the teaching part, and incorporated most of Vortex's suggestions, as well. Thanks!!!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Kathy, it looks really great. The only thing I'd caution you on is that most MLS essays start with growing up loving the library. Is there another aspect of libraries/librarians that you could emphasize that might make you stand out from the crowd?

It's a cliche, sure, but I'm going to go with it. I wouldn't have gotten into the library field if it wasn't for the fact that I lived there as a kid. I think I demonstrate pretty quickly that I might have idealized the profession as a kid, but I'm fully aware of all the problems now.
I've got to drop it off at the FedEx office in the next hour, otherwise it won't make it there on time (yes, it's due by Monday morning at the latest--I'm such a procrastinator!!!).

Fingers crossed for you, Kathy! One of us! One of us!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Seriously, I grew up (at my parents' admittedly rather out-there church) basically being told I'd probably burn in hell if I dressed as a witch on 31st Oct. Also, I used to get ranted at for watching BtVS by such Christians. Also, also, I've sat through 40-minute sermons about Harry Potter and the Hell-Bound Children Who Like Reading.
There are some churches in the US that have a "Hell House" for Halloween. It's set up like a regular haunted house amusement thing, where you walk through the dark creepy house and there are weird sounds and things jump out at you, except that each room shows a different scene of teenagers sinning (usually witchcraft, gay, suicide, premarital sex, and a few others) and then the torments they endure in hell.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
OH! Yes, Minister. I was a HUGE Yes, Minister fan.
I have the DVDs for Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, if you ever want to borrow them.
I also have the House of Cards series.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I now realize where I went wrong, dicking around this afternoon: Now I REALLY don't wanna finish packing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
PACK!
