I finished my Blog class today with the 2007 group of students. It was an interesting session. I made sure that I stressed the importance of Blogging three times per week starting today. I had one student concerned about the availability of internet access. This opportunity is for them to work, learn, grow, and make discoveries about the library profession that they may not be aware of. Our new group created some interesting blogs for beginners. Hopefully, this experience will lead to bigger and better things.

What did I learn about myself this afternoon?
That I have no room for excuses not to complete this assignment as part of their work responsibilities. The "mommie voice" almost stepped in. Luckily, I was able to instantly "pull-back" and come back to my "librarian extraordinaire" self. This is such an awesome time to consider librarianship as a career option...I believe we have some potential Library Science candidates.
