I had landed a full stipend as a student to go to the Special Libraries Association conference because of an essay I wrote about why I wanted to attend. <BR/><BR/>I found myself asking "Now, why did I say I wanted to attend this thing?" a few times that week as the days surrounded by a million librarians who took themselves quite seriously passed!(I was doing serious soul-searching myself about whether I really wanted to be a librarian and was about to graduate...A year later, I'm not one, but don't regret my degree because it gives me "mad researcher skillz" as the kids say.)<BR/><BR/>It was a little scary to fly literally across the country (from here in Texas) to spend a week knowing only about 3 people out of the 10,000 or so librarians that were there. I found that I had to just go up to people and introduce myself and start talking or I spent a lot of time feeling lonely.<BR/><BR/>I envy you on this, however! I've read about it on your blog and others, and it sounds like lots of fun as a newly published author. Maybe it'll be me one day. :)<BR/><BR/>Best wishes for a wonderful week!Julie Kiblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914386223833117415noreply@blogger.com
