In 84 days, I'll be back on campus at my alma-mater at an extra special homecoming as Lebanon Valley College continues celebrating its 150th birthday. In honor of that countdown, here's memory #84: getting ready to go back to the library ...
... to WORK, as in work-study (although I guess I also just plain studied there on occasion).
When I started college, my employment was off campus at the East Lebanon McDonald's -- at least up until my semester abroad in Germany. When I came back, my financial aid changed and gave me work-study options. And that's options plural, because I ended up working at three different jobs on campus (at overlapping times even).
What can I say? I was putting myself through school ... by earning $4.25 an hour ... and zoning and zenning out reshelving books -- because organizing things via the Dewey Decimal system has therapeutic powers.
NOTE: this is not the last time that the LVC library will play a role in one of my memories ...
