I think the interview went well.

*

Thank you everyone for your prayers

and comments.

I felt supported; thank you.

*

Now to prepare for the next interview!

*

I got the interview schedule for next week...

it is intense.

*
I will be meeting the head of all the libraries by 8:30 in the morning

and presenting to the library staff by 9 am ...

and that is only the beginning --

the day does not end until 4:15 in the afternoon!

*

Any advice on how to stay 'cool' for a day of meet and greets

a lunch, interviews and presentation

are welcomed.

*

In someways the day is so intense that I just laugh and want to

go forward and do it well!

*

Meanwhile, I will be off to the library to research for my presentation.

Prayers of course welcomed,

including that I will have the physical strength to make it through this week

of preparation

(and a possible second interview in Ottawa

for the job I interviewed for today).

*

God is our hope and strength...

to Him we must look...

Oh, well, then...

I know.

Cleo looks too cool for her own good.

Rest assured, she is looking quite normal now

and is resting on the top of my afghan-arm chair.

My new salad meal.

Spinach, boiled egg, non-died cheddar cheese

(cheddar with orange = dyed colour)

a radish, some tomato and cucumber,

avocado.

I dress it up with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Have to come up with a new variation though

or I will get tired of it

(I know my consumerist self too well, sigh).

I made some phone calls today.

I am going to apply to do a major

(a second BA without the electives that my first BA has)

in French as a Second Language

at one of the two local Universities.

This would give me the time and structure

to continue learning French.

It would also give me more debt in student loans;

but not more than I can pay off

(especially if I get a professional library position afterwards).

I don't know the economic future two plus years down the road.

It would be a big investment of what our current culture

considers to be important:

time and money.

Please pray for me that I will make the decision

that God wants me to make

and that I will be able to read and obey His will.

Thank you.

Balance

I love the idea of being a local artisan.

I will research.

I will also continue job searching;

I have networking, informational interviews and more cover letters to write.

I am going to look for books on card making.

I am glad I am a librarian.

Flower and Card research - Fun.
