this is such a cool concept!! it sounds like you put of care and intention into the work you do - just appreciating it at a distance (and I’m guessing the participants will appreciate it too). break a leg tmrw 💪🏼✨🫡

i can't tell you how much i dislike the feeling of "oh my GOD i'm sitting here with these bubbles and i'm thinking back 48 hours when i glazed over this one table instead of being real with myself that i need to know that table backwards and forwards. these bubbles are going to devour me alive."

also so much respect to the STEM people around me who started climbing this skill mountain early, often with painstaking effort, and grinded away at this ability to take tests in this format. i'm glad I studied anthro in undergrad and I liked writing essays at the time, but it's just. so. different.

i mean, reference librarianship is largely improvisational stumbling through hundreds of questions + gradually accumulating a useful tangle of schemas / improv routines. so it's not like this mode hasn't been *very specifically reinforced*. but ya. scantron bubbles. what can we do??

ALL HAIL BUBBLE

for me the hardest part is being realistic with myself about how much studying something needs, and especially *how closely it should match the actual expereince of the test*

and, telling on myself here, it's b/c i tend to think pattern recognition and creative scrambling will get me thru! nope!!!!

the seed, the nut, the safe place to shelter and sway - so many gifts!

i don't think beauty is ours to clutch and keep forever. but i do think this experience of gift and loss is all of ours, collectively. so many gifts! so much loss!
