A little over a month and a half into summer break from my LIS studies I found myself in the thrall of a rather distressing malaise. The cause, I now realize, is too much to do combined with too little to think about. What began as a well deserved break from work slipped into days filled with childcare, house painting and other good things. But the fact of the matter is: I’m not happy unless I’m learning. I’m not satisfied unless I’m participating. Neither can occur in a vacuum.
I start this blog because I need a place to think out loud. I need people to respond to what I have to say. I can’t afford the phone bill, or the shrink (besides, I ought to use my shrink for other things…;) My friends do listen, but I love them all too much to subject them to this on a daily basis. I’m egotistical enough to hope that I might say something worthwhile. In short, I’m just like all the other bloggers out there– thank god!
