Call me crazy but I decided to take a leap of faith and made the decision to attend ALA Annual in Anaheim this June. The only things barring me from this experience have been financial difficulties and fear of the unknown. However, thanks to tax refunds and thoughtful savings I already have enough money for registration and my air fare; though I am waiting to see if prices will drop before I buy.
I have never traveled across the country before and I am most likely embarking on this journey on my own although I know there will be familiar faces in Anaheim and some new ones I would like to become acquainted with. I can't imagine what it would be like to meet Library Greats like Buffy Hamilton or Kristin Fontichiaro or many of the other Library Land bloggers I keep tabs with. I am excited to read about the different sessions that will be offered. I am planning on attending a variety of offerings since I am not 100% sure of what I want my focus to be. I'm excited to meet with fellow library students from across the country and hope that there will be some SU students as well.
I'm really excited for this adventure. I would love to hear any tips from past conference goers!
On a totally different note, on the verge of a Teacher Recruitment Fair later this month, I am in debate on how my resume should look. I feel as if it's getting a bit long but I am afraid to cut out work information because I don't want it to look like there have been gaps in my employment history. Does anyone have any good resume advice?
