Ya should have been a music major - ha ha. About lesson plans - do you have to write every one out like you did when you were taking ed classes??? I would HATE that. I plan my music app. classes but in the loosest form.Jeanne, the mom and grandmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278198014759184949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463266006648463076.post-70830742464536235942011-01-31T15:21:30.457-05:002011-01-31T15:21:30.457-05:00I, too, am very excited for the direction you are ...I, too, am very excited for the direction you are going.<br /><br />Ever since High School I was CONVINCED I would hate teaching. Much to my surprise, I LOVE it. But that's because I've done it in non-classroom forums or non-conventional classroom forums. I know the world needs teachers to teach in the classroom, but there are plenty of teachers out there who don't want to teach that way.<br /><br />I can't give you any suggestions about Grad School or jobs because I know nothing about the greatness of schools or state's teaching programs (except what I said before about avoiding Urban New Hampshire). But I can say that as I spend more time in New England, the more I love it. So there is my shameless slug encouraging you to join me and become a North Easterner!Sarah Lambsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771444013849557661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463266006648463076.post-20926002349353600272011-01-30T21:41:29.095-05:002011-01-30T21:41:29.095-05:00@JennVan-I suspect the inclination towards books/l...@JennVan-I suspect the inclination towards books/libraries existed in these women before the lack of marriage prospects, so maybe silly boys just don't like book nerds?

It sounds like a good fit for you. In AZ many schools no longer employ librarians in their libraries because of costs. Our librarians are basically aides. Do I agree with that? No, but it is the reality. Just be aware of that trend.Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14854807993255270216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463266006648463076.post-48016852640107752772011-01-30T19:19:10.876-05:002011-01-30T19:19:10.876-05:00genevive -Sorry you were so offended but it wasn&#...genevive -Sorry you were so offended but it wasn't meant to be offensive. I was just making an observation. Plus I can say it because I am one of those spinster women even if I'm not a librarian. I just find it interesting that so many of my unmarried single girl friends end up as librarians. I'm curious about what draws them to that profession above others. <br />(Lays down defense to keep order on someone else's blog)JennVanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913615287994793503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463266006648463076.post-32470414067096843492011-01-30T18:54:58.053-05:002011-01-30T18:54:58.053-05:00I'm trying not to virtually give JennVan the b...I'm trying not to virtually give JennVan the bird for her insulting remarks there...but I digress.<br /><br />Univ. of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign is the best in the country, but I know Univ. of Indiana is just fine, as is MU.

Are you going to base your job applications on grad school options, or vice versa? And are you thinking public library, school library, or specialty/research library? <br /><br />I'm excited for you to go in a new direction! :)Julinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373331914121855263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463266006648463076.post-35669504501841213162011-01-30T18:01:08.227-05:002011-01-30T18:01:08.227-05:00I wish I could offer you a job.

You are like the 5th older single woman I know who has done that. Hmm, I wonder if there is anything to the old adage about spinster women librarians? :) Let's just say I don't have a shortage of people to call about book suggestions. :)JennVanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913615287994793503noreply@blogger.com
