Good luck with the grad school apps, GRE, etc, Knot! I considered pursuing the MLS at one time, but then realized I really wanted to teach. On the other hand, many librarians do a good deal of teaching. The librarians at my university are a wonderful bunch--generally cheerful, helpful, friendly. I always take my classes to the library early in the semester so they'll get to know the librarians and not be afraid to ask them for help.

Yep, if I weren't a teacher, I'd be a librarian. I'll be cheering you on--I hope you get your Timbuk2 bag!
