Kudos to the gang

I have to take a moment today to acknowledge the love and support of my friends and family. Going back to school has been a big step for me – bigger than I had envisioned. I get swept up in projects, assignments and other school-related stuff and I have to step back into the shadows of family life and other activities. Through it all, I have the support, encouragement and help of family and friends. I want everyone to know that it does not go unnoticed. All the kind words of encouragement, all the “atta-girls” and most especially the times when everyone gives me the space and time to do what I need to do for my education, are very much appreciated. I can sometimes become quite intense about school and my laser focus makes me distracted from things outside of school work and what I’m learning – I readily acknowledge that about myself. I have come to the conclusion that it is because my new avocation is not only important to my future, but also terribly exciting for me. I yearn to soak up every bit of information I can about Library & Information Services; I throw myself headlong into my studies because they mean so much to me. Not to mention that odd little way I have of not settling for mediocre grades – I just can’t help myself there.

So to everyone who understands when I have a big project due or some other “crunch week” crisis and you don’t call or worry why you haven’t heard from me: THANK YOU. I know you’re all out there caring about me but giving me the space to grow and learn in my own way. And I appreciate it so much.

Coming soon (as soon as Finals are over!): I’ll share photos of a couple of my way cool Book Repair projects. And I still haven't gotten to the video and photos of the house project, have I? :(
