Still figuring this blog site out

I am trying to shift through all the reading that we have to do, especially this week. I thought that I had to do a lot of reading compared to my friends in undergrad, but this is amazing!

I am also trying to figure out this blog site. I have a xanga site, myspace, and facebook, but all of them take time to learn. Though I must say that xanga was by far the easiest to learn.

Now a bit about myself other than what is in the profile. I was born in Groton, Conn. And then when I was 7 moved to West Virginia. I have a very large extended family and we all grew up together and so are very close. Now my cousins are all having children of their own, so I am Aunt Laura. Currently 4 of my cousins and their spouses are expecting children.

I came to the Philadelphia area for school. I attended Philadelphia Biblical University initally as a Secondary Education History/Social Studies major, but after one semester switched to Counseling. I started working in the library of my school the 2nd week of my 1st semester during my Freshman year. I have always loved libraries. Whenever my librarians saw me coming, they would go over to the holds shelf and get down about 20 books at a time, which I would read in about a week.

During my senior year of college I went through a crisis of sorts and discovered that I didn't have enough life experience to be a Marriage and Family Counselor at the age of 24. So I started looking for a career until, who knows when exactly, I guess the real reason was that i needed a job that would help pay off my student loans. :) I looked into Massage Therapy, MLIS, and several other possibilities. However, since I couldn't make up my mind so I took a year off after my undergraduate studies to work in the library and decide if that was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I discovered that I really rather enjoy it, and so applied for FastTrack MLIS and that is how I got here.
