I wanna be a librarian!

About Me

I teach French (or pretend to, anyway). I like to run. There is a somewhat tame vulture that has begun making regular appearances chez moi. I like to pet him. Update: I am head over heels in love with that vulture. Let's hope this interspecies thang works out.I just started back to school after 8 years to do a Master's in Library Science. What have I gotten myself into?P.S. The more you consume, the less you live.
