Just Checking

Did some research online this morning on colleges. Drexel and Rutgers are both online, and Drexel is only slightly more expensive than Rutgers. Rutgers, however, requires orientation and once-a-semester meetings, and their Library Sciences campus is in New Brunswick in North Jersey.

In addition to it's School Media Specialist program, Drexel also offers a "Youth Services Specialization" - in other words, a non-school children's librarian. I wouldn't mind that one, either, but I'm afraid it would limit it me to larger libraries or children's libraries in cities. Most small libraries can barely afford a staff of people to help adults, much less kids! On the other hand, it would take less time (3 years part-time, according to Drexel's site) and probably less money.

Spent the rest of the day at work. Work was on-and-off steady. There were some cranky people, and my register froze when I tried to close it towards the end of the day and I had to move...and I had a long line. I hate it when that happens. I just want to get the line moving.

Oh, and my stomach is feeling somewhat better. I drank a lot of chamomile tea and bought Tums and peppermint Lifesavers at work. I'm hoping it'll be good enough tomorrow to do my library volunteering; if not, I'll do it before or after counseling on Thursday. (The weather's looking iffy tomorrow too, rainy and windy.)

I'm still considering options right now. It depends on whether I can get work somewhere besides the Acme and what kind of schedule I have to work around. (And I think both courses are available offline as well.)
