Wayne State University, School of Information Sciences, awarded me its Master of Library and Information Science degree the other day. So, I'm officially a librarian. Without a library (other than my own private library).
I'm all for moving on, except for the circumstances of my life requiring my presence at home, and except for the comfort I feel in being a student, and the sadness and trepidation at leaving school behind to pursue whatever happens next. All too eager to involve myself in new intellectual pursuits, I have set myself lofty goals in terms of pages read and written ... and I'm way behind. Sick babies and lots of appointments for them and other sick family members have a lot to do with that. Parenting is not one of my stronger suits, and neither is being supportive when problems resist solution. I don't like powerlessness. I don't like unpredictability. But I'm learning to deal with it. Graduation is, as always, a time of transition and an opportunity to grow into new aspects, new responsibilities. Even outside of the job-search-to-come, that is an apt description for what is happening now. I have much work to do if I want to make the most of it.
