TLNing

A community for teacher-librarians and other educators

     Well this is my first blog and I am sure everyone feels a little awkward starting one of these things.  I am working on my certification for Lib_SCI and am currently doing my internship with NEISD.  I really like everything about a library so far. You get to interact with the kids and parents in a positive way. In addition you get to handle a wide range of activities.   I also love the fact that I work with and around books all the time.  I have always loved the smell of books and still do.  

     Personal I am not a terribly exciting individual.  I love to do all kinds of crafts. Although i am not good at any of them I like to do everything from quilting to painting.  I have the average American family which excites me to no end.  I really like having a quite boring life because it makes me happy do ordinary things.  I have a daughter and twin boys who keep me very busy.  In addition to my husband who I think is the best person I have ever met. I also happen to believe that he is the best teacher in the world as well. ( But I think I might be a little biased)   We just bought our first home and as odd as it sounds I love cleaning it.  I always hated cleaning up until we got our home, but I think it is different when you own it. 

      One of the weird things about blogs is that they make you feel like people are listening to you and the world centers around you.  I find this terribly odd, mostly because I grew up in a world where you did not put any information out into the world except your professional persona.  I know it is typical for people to spill their innermost thoughts into a blog like this but I find it disquieting.  I like the idea that my personal world is private, and the world is passing me by.  This is part of the reason that if you look for me on the internet you won't have a lot of luck.  One of my areas of study during my undergraduate was communication and one major lesson that I have taken to heart is that knowledge is power.  This is part of the reason that it makes me squeamish to post at all.  But you have read enough of my paranoid gibberish - so feel free to move on to more interesting things besides me! :)
