To Do List: get master’s degree

Two summers ago, I began my first two classes toward my Master of Library Science, and last night (through a sleep-deprived haze), I pushed the submit button for my final project. What a wonderful feeling! Even though I’ve only been in school for about two years, it seems like a lifetime. In June of 2007, I had never taken an on-line class and I’d never worked in a library.

Now 36 semester hours, two years of librarianship, and one bouncing baby boy later, I have learned so much. This journey has not been easy for me. I have been frustrated, confused, and discouraged more times than I’d like to admit. I wish I could have handled all my responsibilities with a bit more grace, but I can only say that I did the best I could. The good news is I accomplished my goal, I feel like I got a quality education, and I’m excited about my job and continuing to learn more and more.

As I cross this very big task off of my “To Do” list, I’m grateful for the opportunity I have been given. I’m grateful for all the words of encouragement from my family, friends, and co-workers. And I'm especially thankful to Tim, who has witnessed the ups and downs along the way and still loves me enough to stick around!
