Why I finally applied for library school
I applied to library school because of a Unitarian message from God. I had been thinking about this for a long time, had done some considerable checking online into the program I was interested in, and requested some materials to be mailed to me. This stuff was sitting around my house, and I would look at it from time to time and not do anything about it. Then I read Dana's blog one day and she had posted a list of Web comic links. One was Unshelved, which had a post that linked to Questionable Content, and there I saw it: a t-shirt that says "She blinded me with Library Science." And I thought, "I. Must. Have it." However, if I ordered this shirt, having no connection to library science, I would be a poseur. I, therefore, applied for the program. And now, ironically, I have no time to read books or visit libraries, unless as part of one of my many assignments.

Yes, but the important question is, did you indeed get the shirt?
I have one now that says "Good grammar costs nothing!" I suspect I have to go back into teaching now, though I can at least pretend I'm not posing because I have to review poorly edited books all day.
Also, I'm highly amused by the thought of having delivered a Unitarian message from God. I'm trying to come up with a good mental image of this entity and what his/her policy is on the proper delivery of messages.
1. Ordered it yesterday, after completing the first big assignment.
2. Good grammar is for everybody, and I think especially someone who reviews books; you are entitled to wear the shirt.
3. Through blogs and comics, apparently.
