TUESDAY -- I walked up to the Children's Room with a heavy heart. It was second to my last day as the intern. I was almost in tears while I was cutting more of Shant's images to paste on his homework. I kept thinking, who will cut paper for Shant? I was really feeling depressed.
To distract me from my sappy thoughts, I wrote another book review, this time on the book Fairy Tale Feasts: A Literary Cookbook for Young Readers And Eaters. I like this book so much so that I bought several copies already and gave them to my friend's children. It has become a book associated with me. I figured it represents me in the sense that I love to read and I love to cook, two hobbies that I want children to learn to love. I felt that this book could do the trick.
After writing the book review, I processed more of the boardbooks. Luckily it was also busy with children looking for biographies so I did not have much time to dwell on my internship coming to an end. Most of the kids were looking for books on Renaissance painters, my favorite subject when I was in college. I am quite familiar now with the reference questions and the lay-out of the library that for the most part, I did not have to consult the catalog and even if I had to, I was already used to Horizon that it did not take me long to find what I needed to find.
Before the night was over, I finished my pathfinder. I was pretty proud of it and I can only wish that it is something they can use. I wish though that there were newer resources than what I had since this is a topic that California grade-schoolers are required to write about.
I left the library with my heart heavier than it was when I came trudging in. Tomorrow is my last day...I don't want to think about it!
