finally friday

Hello my loves.

Just thought since the week started with a blog post maybe it should end with one too.

Things are going pretty all right around here. Kind of rainy but it finally feels like autumn (which is awesome by the way). Today I am making Molasses cookies, but I was impatient and didn't want to chill them so I put them in a 7 x 10 baking dish and made them into bars instead. I think molasses makes it feel more like autumn.

Let's see. What's new with me? I'm thinking I'm going to be graduating in the spring (May 2010) and then looking for an Americorps position or something like that for a year (I've even considered applying to Teach for America again, but that was so much heartbreak last time I don't think I could take it if they rejected me again). I'm looking for an internship (and actually have been offered one in Mooresville, IN for the upcoming semester) but Mooresville is a 45 minute drive and it's an unpaid internship. The Ellettsville branch of the library here in Monroe County has asked me to come in for an interview, and while that would be unpaid as well, at least I would only be driving around 10 minutes to get there. But yeah, I'd be doing the internship for credit and taking 3 other classes to be able to finish up in the spring.

I'm also starting to do Preschool Storytime at one of the grade schools around here. They let us use the school media center to do storytime for community families and their preschoolers. I'm really excited about it. I'll only be leading about once a month and helping one other time during the month but the SLIS students that volunteer get to completely run the show, which is awesome and great experience.

Things with Kyle are fantastic. If you didn't know, I'm dating someone. It's been about 3 months or so. He's a library student like me. I can't remember if I ever actually came out and told you girls that on here, but it's on facebook I know and I know a few of you have asked about and/or met him.

Tonight I'm heading out to the Kings of Leon concert in Indianapolis with a friend of mine from SLIS and some random guy (also a SLIS student) (It's a long story that involves people backing out on going to the concert at the last minute.)

Anyway, I love you all and you should probably come visit me while I'm still in Bloomington, because I love it here and I love showing it off.

peace & love,

Court
