Transitions
One of the distinct advantages of attending the University of Utah instead of BYU (besides being able to go on the occasional date) is that the U actually has a Spring Break. It thrills me to think of an entire week of just work, and no classes at all. I often tell myself that this is my goal: to not have to worry about school anymore; to not have to split my attention between school and work, knowing that one of them will always be shortchanged; to finally feel like a professional with a vibrant career ahead of me, instead of like a burned-out student. A forty-hour work week just seems like heaven to me now.
Right now I’m applying to a library school program, and in my statement of intent I’m describing the relationship I’ve had with libraries my entire life, and how I arced away from them for several years and now am coming back to where I belong. I remember the first time I walked into the Salt Lake City main library and just feeling at home. This really is what I need to do.
