Week 3 pt.1

I found the librarian's talk actually helpful and amusing. She spoke of her life story and how she became a librarian. She always had some kind of good feeling whenever she was around a library. Not only was the library quiet, but she liked the feeling of having a huge amount of knowledge at the tips of her fingers. Something I thought was funny about her talk was when she said she was in graduate school and wanted to continue studying but she met her future husband, had a child, and had to take care of her child so she stopped going to school. The funny part was not the actual content but how she explained that having the baby. I recall something along the lines of "and bloop I had a baby." Besides her fun tales of her life, she explained some important things about the library. She said there is a massage area, explained how to go about research using the library's main interface, and also she stated one of the most important ideas--use the reference and information desk; they are there for a reason. I enjoy listening to her tale as a librarian, but that career is definitely not for me. I get tired of silence, do not read much, and do not feel the presence of the world's knowledge at my fingertips.
Unfortunately, I was unable to go to the career counseling because I was unable to attend our section. However, my sister is a pretty good career counselor for me, and she told me what I must do. One of the main things that she says to do, is build a competitive resume. This includes interning or getting some kind of experience, or else I will have a little chance to make it into the workforce.
