I want to write

O.K. Here it goes: I am trying to learn how to put intelligent thought into a paper or a blog, but the road seems to be a little tricky. My friend who is a Writing Center coordinator at my workplace told me to start writing about myself, something similar to a memoir. My husband also suggested that when I write on a personal note, I am better than writing on an issue or argument. In this post I choose to write on a personal note, just because I am still under the spell from yesterdays workshop in Ann Arbor. It was a beautiful sunny day, I dropped my children off to two different individuals, I didn't like it, but I really had to attend this workshop, for which I had registered 2 months ago. To an immigrant librarian, this workshop was awesome, for the lack of a better word. There are so many librarians in this world that are "dying" to educate the rest of us, and truth to be told some of them just rocked. Collaboration among libraries is necessary, just because we are the gatekeepers to the information, that is being challenged by G.A.F.A, as one of the speakers warned. Have you heard about people who are doers, action takers, and people who like to take action but they won't. Well as sad as it is, as much as I am enthused about the entire workshop, and how powerful is the message from it, there is not much push where I come from. Things move slow in my neck of the woods, and the support for a change is non-existent. Heck, what is the problem? Feelings of anticipation are always present, these are wrong feelings. These should be replaced by the feelings for action, without a fear of losing your job, maybe. Oh well, I hope I am making some sense out of it, I will probably find out in 2013. I will be back before that....no worries.
