My kids

My daughter got ahold of a picture that was taken of my husband and me when we first started dating. He gets all of the attention because he was such a fashion star. I am wearing the ugliest dress ever. It's funny, I thought I looked great in it! What did I know-- I didn't even start to wear makeup until junior year in college! Anyway, that photo brings back memories. If I knew then what I know now, how would things have changed? Well, first of all, I think I would not have gotten a degree in history. History is great, and the study of it definitely was interesting and made me the person I am today, but I was and am too sensitive to know all these things about people. I would have been better off with a degree in chemistry or math. I just think that my studies kept me from having to take responsibility for myself at a younger age. After all, who gets a job with a history degree from a university that's known for its Hockey team, for chrissake?? It's not like I got a degree from an ivy league school and was going to teach in university (although that pie in the sky idea would have been fun). And although the lesson delivery is fun, the assessment part is not. So. Where does that leave me? Well, thank Al Gore for the Internet-- it rejuvenated the library profession! So here I am. 'Way too old to be able to catch up, enjoying it, but wondering what the hell I am going to do when I (finally) grow up. As if that were ever going to happen.
