Hello, fellow librarian! I'm a school librarian, tho.

What program are you applying for? I can be your application cheerleader! I got into one but I had to put it off because of… well, a bunch of things. So we might end up as "classmates" or at least a cohort - starting at the same time!

I think the ADU sounds like a great idea and I hope you can find a way to make it work. It sounds like you've got a good relationship with your parents and being right near them would be good for you - and them, when they get older.
