Twenty-Three and Feeling Free

Not to imply that I've felt burdened by completing the 23 Things blog assignment; quite the opposite, in fact.  I now feel more "web-free" than ever in completing each of these tasks.  I've broadened my horizons, dissolved my rigidity/reluctance towards Web 2.0 tools, and have thus launched myself well-equipped into my newfound role as a graduate student in Library and Information Studies at Kent State University in Ohio.  I've felt that my shift from working full-time at a non-career job back to student-hood was inevitable, and this component of LIS 635 has been invaluable in getting me to a point where I feel prepared in moving forward.  I've learned to embrace tools that I had previously shunned (mostly because I didn't care to understand them), that I need to just explore and put myself out there, and that librarianship really is the right career for me.  Thanks to my instructor, my class mates, and NEFLIN for helping me get to where I'm going.  Here's to progress!
