Queen Bea’s Library

Oh, friends. I have been tackling some work for the Bea and have not had an extra moment to write to you. It doesn’t mean I don’t think you’re important — you totally are.

It’s just that…my days here are numbered, friends, and there were a number of tasks I had been putting off the semester, and I finally had to produce some results. Soon I’ll be out in the scary world, sans the Bea, sans newspapers and mail (except for my own). I will no longer have to open Microsoft Word to make paper forms that serve no real purpose. I don’t know if I’ll ever find a reason to use a glue stick again. Gasp! I will have to think of some reason.

But really, I have learned a lot from working in this castle. I only wish I had more time to document it for you, so that I can keep track of the lessons the Bea has taught me. And I also wish I had more time to find the white binder. I wish I could contribute in some way to the binder, because I think the contents should not only be about the operation of the library but it should be about Bea’s views on how to live a good life. The Bea is very happy, friends. Though she sometimes seems stressed and sometimes spends all day on the phone, it’s all part of her ideal image of herself: a person who really matters to others.

Ok, ok. So. I will be here a few more days, and then I will be departing for the real world. I will send along my thoughts as they come.
