Ruminations

I've been thinking about my scholastic future again.
A couple of months ago I wrote about my decision about what to study at University, that hasn't changed.
I still want to study Lit. in an interdisciplinary course; either Linguistics or Women's and Gender Studies, yeah, we'll see about how crazy my parents drive me, because each course is at a different University. At TAU it's the Lit. and Women and Gender and at HUJI it's the Lit. and Linguistics.
But lately I've been thinking what I want to do with that degree, okay so I want to be a published writer, duh, that's not new, that's been my dream for the last ten years and I've even accomplished that (I have a poem published in an Anthology) to a certain degree.
However, being a writer is something I need to do and being a starving poet living the Bohemian lifestyle on Florentine St. in Tel-Aviv, while something to write about is not something I actually I want to live.
I love my creature comforts, I do not like scrounging around for every shekel in order to eat, yes I have a slight obsession with money, I blame it on my Tauriean materialism.
So I have decided to become a Librarian.
Re-watching the first three seasons of Buffy has certainly helped; having a new appreciation for all the hard work Giles put into that Library and the way he loves books, I suddenly felt a kindred spirit with him that I hadn't felt before.
Despite spending a major amount of my time on-line, I still find myself more relaxed in a Library. Cutting classes were devoted to reading my Plato and Freud in the Library. I became such a permanent fixture there that Rina (the Librarian) taught me the Dewey-Decimal system, that I have since forgotten, but loved.
Yes, I'm going to be a Librarian!
