i had an extremely brief conversation with a local librarian today as she was on the phone with a librarian at another branch, asking about the book i had put on hold. in between reading out the call number and saying "thank you," she managed to ask me about the book i checked out, if it had to do anything with my major, and if i was planning on taking summer classes. i told her that the book i checked out was to help me on an essay i had to write, and that my major was communications-related, but i didn't know if that was the field i wanted to go into, and that i was looking for an internship and a job this summer.
in return, the lady librarian told me that she declared her major in hotel management, and that she had done some work related to that for several years in vermont, until she figured that it was time to give back to her community in some way. for the past eighteen years, she has been a librarian, and i could tell from the way she talked about it, that being a librarian was her passion. she loves what she does so much.
so, i feel somewhat at ease... a bit more at peace after talking with this stranger with frizzy red hair and glasses. she kind of reminded me of carrie from "sex and the city." i am in no hurry to graduate (especially in these economic times), and i should just shoot for one thing and go at it for a while, until another, stronger passion and desire strikes me.
now the catch is... where do i start? what IS that first desire of mine, and what road do i want to take a drive on first?
