To Become Like a Child Again

Getting a job at the university library has been one of the best things to happen to me this year. First of all, library. Second of all, job. Third of all, LIBRARY. The thing is a freaking treasure trove. Ever wanted to read scholarly articles about cult TV? We got that. Want books in German, French, Portuguese, or Russian? You bet. Beautiful hardcovers from the early 1800’s? Yep. And I’m just in the humanities library. Probably one of the best

Becoming Who I Already Am

I found some old sketchbooks of mine that I filled up years ago, and decided I’d go through them from the very beginning and see how my drawings have changed.
