Five Questions frompalemovie
1) Were your life a TV show, what would be the theme song?
Superchunk - Art Class ... not really that relevant but it is my favorite song.
2) You have, in the past year, decided to go to graduate school for your MLS. What made you decide on a career in a field you have no prior experience in?
Actually, the idea came to me around March of 2003 as a suggestion from my supervisor at my internship in Chicago. My internship was based around searching the library, pulling stuff and putting together a book of useful materials so she thought I'd make a good librarian. I applied to work at the Albion library but between classes, swimming, lifeguarding and not being there every weekend there wasn't a lot of time left in my schedule and apparently the time I had available didn't fit their need. Technically I do have SOME prior experience as a teacher in a school with NO librarian. I guess the reason I decided to go for the MLIS was that I knew after teaching 4th grade I wanted something different but still in the school setting... and as I said after working in a school w/o a SLMS I realized that is what I want to do. Also I've always loved Educating Esme. And I had a lot of peer pressure. From you. (just kidding).
3) What is the greatest book nobody else has read?
Hello, Fruit Face by Claudia Strand
I'd also like to highly recommend Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides because I just finished it and LOVED it. I wouldn't call this a "book nobody else has read" though, because lots of people have.
4) Where do we go now, sweet child o'mine?
5) What joke makes you laugh every single time?
There's a joke well known among a small circle of Alboners called "Cinderblock". In fact, if you just say "cinderblock" in a certain way I'll laugh. The joke itself requires a live in-person telling to be funny, otherwise I'd transcribe it here. Also - it's a terrible terrible horrible makes-you-feel-like-a-very-bad-person joke.
