No, not from blogging - not that I've been on here at all in 7 months, but that's besides the point. No, I am taking time off from my MSIS/MA degree. Spring 2012 will be spent in Albany, working somehow, somewhere, and when I am ready, I'll get back into it.
I think I need this time. Trying to play catch up with school, having all that baggage, while also dealing with depression and an abusive home life just wasn't working. I need to put myself first.
I am not sure where I'll end up working, if I end up working at all (it's still a tough economy to find any type of job in). But, I'm going to give it a shot. And maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to blog a bit along the way. So here's to change in 2012, and hopefully more personal growth, healing, and moving forward.
Namaste

Starting off
Hello everyone,
I am a newcomer to the field of information science/librarianship. A friend from my MSIS program passed along the news of this project, and it sounded like a great way to get some ideas for moving my career along, as well as for connecting with fellow professionals in the field.
When I say I am a newbie, I mean VERY new - my degree is still in progress. I've had a bit of experience in a variety of library settings though, and have begun attending conferences (my first national one was SLA just last week). I am also pursuing a Master's in History and am hoping to use the two degrees in some combination in my future work (this is assuming that I maintain my sanity in the process!)
I've blogged for personal purposes before, but never is a professional sense. I am looking forward to this project, to reading other blogs, and hopefully meeting some new folks. If there are any other students out there, I'd love to chat!
