I've got Spanish on the mind.

So it goes with the inner workings of a student librarian.

Homer Babbidge is busy.  A flood of patrons washes through the NO EXIT gates in front of me.  I would wager a guess at 5 patrons / 10 seconds.  I sip tension tamer tea from a thermos on the counter at left.  There is sharp pain in my gut.  I ignore it and assist patrons: room carrel key, directions to electronic classroom, anthropology textbook on reserve.  I am happy.

Chat with my coworker, Kathleen is built on our mutual understanding of what it's like to be recovering from a fibula ankle fracture.  We are both still limping, having survived the winter season in Connecticut.

My life has been rich with library visits recently and a future digital media project seems likely.

Last weekend, I visited Yale's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, as well as their Divinity Library, where I studied.

A small-town Greenwich library also featured in my recent library explorations.

This morning, I got on a stationary bike for the first time since breaking my leg in January.  The return of cardio was accompanied by a return to watching TedTalks.  The following talk was an inspiring analysis of what the future might hold for the design of libraries and other public spaces.

 

Now back to that Spanish homework that's been haunting me.  When is it due?

The transition out of spring break may not be smooth one.

Adios.
