Life Update

My Life Post-Graduation

Once again I haven't updated you guys in a couple months, but a lot of exciting things have happened since I graduated college in May. 

For starters, I got a "big-girl" job! I am the Assistant Archivist/Weekend Supervisor in the library at Ouachita! So I guess graduating couldn't keep me away from school. I have been working in the library for a month now and I absolutely love it. The best things about my job are that I get to organize and categorize things everyday, and with each request from patrons, I get to go on a treasure hunt to find the information or items that they're looking for. All of my colleagues are great to work with and we have some great projects lined up. We're even working on starting a blog for the library and I will get to write posts for that which is super exciting for me. 

Before I started work my family and I went on vacation to DisneyWorld, one of my favorite places in the entire world! I crossed several things off my Disney bucket list, including riding Flight of Passage, try the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich from Sleepy Hollow, and to get an Alex and Ani bracelet. It was so wonderful to be back in the most magical place on earth. I got several great new Disney pins, made some new Disney memories, and had a handful of "magical moments." I'm always down to go to Disney and I was so happy that my siblings got to experience it at a time that they would remember it, since they hadn't been in seven years. 

While I was in Disney, I found out that I got accepted into the Master's of Library Science program at Texas Woman's University! I am so beyond thrilled that I get to further my education and take the next steps toward becoming a librarian. I will start school at the end of August and my whole program should only take two years to complete, maybe shorter if I do some summer classes. 

Since starting my job I haven't been able to read as much, but I am participating in Booktube-a-thon starting tomorrow and I will be making a post about that too. I will also be doing my July Reading Wrap-Up in a few days because I should finish two or three more books by the end of the month. So, be looking out for my Booktube-a-thon post and my reading wrap-up for this month. 

That's all I've got to update you guys on for now, but hopefully my life will continue being exciting in the upcoming months! ~Em
