WOW! The last few months have been a whirlwind for me! I apologize for letting my blogging slack but so many exciting things have been happening.
I accepted a job at a law school library in Boise, Idaho! Me and Allan (my fiance) packed up all our things and made the move from Tacoma, Washington to Boise, Idaho. It was a hectic month of moving, stressing, and finally arriving at our new place.
The moving company delivered our stuff a few days after we got here in October and since then we've been slowly unpacking. My favorite part of unpacking is finding the things I packed up weeks ago and forgot I owned. Moving also makes me realize the sheer number of books I own. Around 500 now? And that is after I donated/sold about 75 to Half Price Books.
I started my first job out of library school as a Public Services Librarian! It's great to put to use all of the things I learned while in library school. My favorite thing about my job is still helping students with research questions. I love that moment when everything clicks and students are able to actually find what they were looking for. Although, faculty questions are fun and challenging so I like those too!
In 2017 I've decided to focus more on my writing. Last year I attended Madcap Retreats in March and I learned so much. But I got caught up in school, finding a job, and everything took a back seat. This will be the first year that I haven't been a student in ages. Now that life is settling down a little I'm ready to shift my focus onto writing and getting published.
I hope to blog a little more this year and share some of my own writing here! So that is where I've been. Here's to 2017 and all the exciting things it holds!
WELCOME! I love in Idaho as well! It's always exciting to see fellow book lovers in Idaho!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get around to really cracking down on your writing this year, and keeping this blog going too! Moving is always quite an experience - you must be glad it's all over! Being a librarian is also uber cool, so have fun :D
