Are you my Rand McNally?

April 8, 2008 - Tuesday

Current mood: curious

UNC didn’t make it to the championship game in the NCAA. It surprised a lot of people and pissed off more by busting their brackets. Although this was the first March Madness I paid attention to, it may have had grand implications beyond teaching me that there are no quarters in college basketball and there’s more time on the shot clock than in the NBA.

I have wanted to go to school to be a librarian at UNC for a few years now. In fact, I was pretty sure it was a given I would end up hating Duke for no real reason at one point or another. But in the last few months, I have run into something interesting...the University of Texas-Austin has one of the best law library programs in the nation. Yes, folks--Texas.

So in the spirit of keeping my mind open to anything and everything, I have asked, "Why not?" The wind dies, traffic fades and the silencing is deafening. Ummm...is anyone else freaked the F out here? Me? Texas? Yeah, I’m shaking in my (oh gag) boots.

Has anyone been there? Someone have some insight? Help here! I plan on moving in the next year and will not likely be convinced otherwise. Anything you can say is good. Don’t hesitate...I promise I won’t when I rent the UHaul!
