A Monster Thank You

I woke up today feeling a little less panicked about school. While I’m still excited and nervous, I’m also eager to just get this started.

I wanna thank those of you who have been so awesome and supportive of me – especially y’all who sent me nice little notes of encouragement:

Sarah and Phil – who had to deal with my “ack!”s in person and keep telling me that I’ll be the best librarian ever.

Dad, Mom and Stephen – I can’t believe y’all posted comments. Thank you so much! I love y’all, and I’ll see y’all at the end of the month. Tell baby Tre that when he gets older, his super nice librarian auntie will help him do research for his schoolwork.

Deborah – thanks for your really nice email today. Knowing that everyone else will probably have pasty thighs helps. Words of encouragement from someone who has already done grad school help too.

Melanie – My librarian hero. Thank you for writing yet another letter of recommendation for me (on top of the 6,000 you already wrote) and for giving me my new mantra: “I am better than everyone else.”

And to all of you who read this silly blog and think kind thoughts, thank you too.
