Just got back from the ALA conference in Anaheim, which was fun but reinforced my intention to not work in a public or school library. Rest of this summer will be spent awaiting move of new girlfriend to Tucson (she is not moving in with me, but had already been planning to move here to take classes), taking a couple of classes, and preparing for fall term library school events as the prez of the library student group. Other activities include finding cheap furniture for new apartment, playing with the kitten, and going camping!

John - Well, my lovely and talented girlfriend would probably object to my picking up women :-). It was just a weird experience to be sitting in chem a couple of semesters ago and think “Damn, the prof sure is a lot cuter than any of the these idiot students.”

@Timothy:

Instead of younger, why not date older?

Vague - Yup, total glamor 24/7 for me. Sweating on the walk from the bus, getting lectured by my manager, staring vacantly at a computer monitor wondering how I ended up here…you know, the usual :-).

Am I the good kind of non-trad? Maybe. I sit in the front, take copious notes, ask only questions that I think might have interesting answers, do all my work, and ace the exams…but I think the other students hate me and, in what is a somewhat saddening development, all of the nubile females look too young and too vapid to be attractive. I must be getting old.

I am not 100% sure that France is better than New Wye…
