My Life at the Library

This is where I spend approximately 75% of my time when I'm working at the library.
Here I sit, lonely, with only the silent books as my companions. When I don't have anything to put away, my job is to make sure the books numbered from 400 to 699 are in order. A very tedious, maddening job that makes the most sane person want to bang his/her head against a nearby wall and jump through a window.

Traveling

I love to travel. I've been to Mexico, Paraguay, and Nicaragua. I would travel more often if money weren't an issue and if I didn't have school or work. Who wouldn't? Learning about different cultures, pretending like I understand Spanish, meeting new people, trying new foods, and seeing the sights are some of the reasons traveling appeals to me so much. I want to land on at least every continent in my life time.

Playing and Goal-Making

Of the 7 and 1/2 habits of learning, the easiest one for me to develop is, of course, the last one: play. I'd rather play than do anything else. Then again, I'd probably get bored of it if that was all I did. I learn the most when I'm playing and interacting with other people.
Goal-making, the first habit, is probably the most difficult for me. I always have trouble making goals and keeping them. I usually forget the goals I make. I think I may have short-term memory loss . . . oh well . . . anyway, you would think it would help to write my goals down on paper, but I usually accidentally throw the goal paper away.
