Spring rain in Colorado is one of my favorite things. Tonight after my shift at the library, I went to dinner with my parents, and when we left the restaurant, we were greeted by cloudy skies and damp, wet spring air. On my drive home, it began raining so steadily that I had trouble seeing without windshield wipers. It's spring in Colorado, and I am loving life.
In the midst of applying for jobs and trying to keep my head above water in the three jobs I have already, this rainy evening provides me with an opportunity to seriously unwind and reflect on the past several months.
The next several weeks will be challenging with the wrap-up of my practicum, my preparations for graduation, and an out of state trip to Boise for a wedding. Nonetheless, I am excited for what awaits after I graduation, and I am feeling like 2011 could get even better in the near future...
Here's to an evening of relaxation and reflection.
Current works in progress:
I'm currently working on another book review for the REFORMA Newsletter, which is due May 1. I am also working on an essay contest for the Progressive Librarian, also due May 1, but I'm not sure if I will be able to finish it by the deadline, with so many other obligations and preparations to be made for my upcoming graduation.
I am also excited to attend the Denver Public Library's community meeting on April 19th for the new Westside Library to be built in the next couple of years. Lots of exciting things going on--looking forward to also planning a trip to southern California in mid-June!
