Inhale, Exhale.

Going into my junior year at SU, I'm really starting to consider my options once I graduate. Until the last couple of years, I was fairly sure I'd end up teaching English (and maybe Drama) at a secondary level. But more and more I find myself leaning toward going into library science. Public librarians in Washington state make really good money for what they do. Definitely better than teaching. And you can leave your work *at* work. Mostly. Bonus! It certainly helps that I've been working at SU's library since I started college. Earlier today on the way to church, Grandma even mentioned it. Apparently a friend of her's was visiting some retired librarian friends in Florida and they highly recommend it.

But now I'm looking at the UW's graduate program for Master of Library and Information Science and it's kind of freaking the hell out of me. I mean...It's just...::flail::

::deep breaths::

I shouldn't be freaked out by it. It's nothing compared to what, say, nursing students have to go through.

Ah well, at least I've got two more years. And then I could probably still take a year off and go back. As long as they accept me...

OK. Yeah. Not going to think about this any more.

I looked at the link you provided, and I think you can do this. It might be a little intimidating but you are completely capable of getting a Masters in Library and Information Science. Without a doubt, I know you can do this! It's not all going to happen at once, you don't have to do it all this year. You're already ahead of a good portion of our class by looking at what masters program you want to do and where.

Just take it one piece at a time.

Thanks a lot for you words of confidence and encouragement. :) It's just a little scary being at this point in your life and realizing that soon you're going to actually have to be *out there*.

Very good advice: one piece at a time.
