Decision Made

[unforth]

Well, it won't be final until tomorrow (at least, that's when I'll go to the SLIS office and try to get it all straightened out) but I've made up my mind. I'm going to drop the history degree. Thanks so much for your advice, guys, it really made me think it through and consider stuff! :)

I also think that I am going to apply for my next set of school this semester (to start my next set of schooling next September), though I haven't decided 100% on that yet. I just...I like what I'm doing now, and I want to get going on getting better at it and building a career doing the conservation and the bookbinding. I'm a bit impatient, I guess. ;)

Well, the next set of schooling is a post all it's own. The quick synoposis is, I'm going to go to school to gain some training in conservation and/or bookbinding. This is not something I can really learn in Bloomington. There are a few different choices of location, including:
Iowa
Austen, TX
Oregon
Boston
Alabama
...er, those are the ones I remember off hand. My first choice is the one in Boston.

Well, I know a fair number of folks in Boston, including at least two librarians, so I could probably get you in touch with some folks up there.

For what it's worth, there's also quite a gaming scene in that area.

Austen is also cool, though I know fewer people there than I used to.

Good luck, in any event. That you'll be leaving that soon does, indeed, make me sad, but them's the breaks, I guess. :)

I've still got 10 months. ;) And I'll hang out longer if I don't get into any of the programs I apply too....
I definitely appreciate the help in meeting folk, if I end up in those places... :)
