No longer a proto librarian, I'm a fully-fledged MSLIS. I even finally put my degree in a frame; a bit ironic since all or most of the folks who signed it were part of the University of Illinois admissions scandal. Nothing to do with me, kids! I got in fair and square.
Tomorrow, I'm starting a job as a full-time department head in Youth Services. I have plenty of trepidation and nerves, but I'm hopeful that I can learn the job and do well. It's extra weird because I've been applying for librarian jobs for at least the past year and have been rejected for 6 theoretically "lesser" positions (i.e. part-time, Librarian I, etc.), including a job that was almost identical to the one I just left. I could not GIVE myself away until this job came along. So let's hope it works out. If not, this librarian will be hanging up her spurs and retiring.
