so how is everyone doing out there in the real world? i've heard from matt, amanda. i keep missing mary; how are you mary? hope you're fine and stuff? still trying to find a job. no one seems to be biting, as of yet. totally miss italy. the cold, ancientness of rome and the artistry of florence. wow! i wish i was roman. not italian, mind you, but roman. anyway, i'll be taking one class and then talking with dr. civil war/irish studies professor this following semester. can you beleive that i should come out of this semester with a masters degree? although, it is just a liberal arts, but masters, none-the-less. i'm planning on a ring this time around. it'll run me a pretty penny. that's one of the reasons i want a job. i just don't want to go where i think i'll have to go for a "day" job. it's been years since i've been there and it will feel as if i'm taking a step back instead of forward. time'll tell what happens in the next week. amazed that library boss person hasn't called me in already. have you'll been keeping track of the changes in the libary? man! it's all different. anyway, i'll try to take pics for those of you who wish they could see it now. talk later. hope all your endeavors go well. good luck for those of you returning to classes and even better luck for those of you starting at new places. keep in touch, don't forget about us lowly little reference assistants.
