The Learning to Learn and the Navigation of Moods book by Gloria Flores that I've been after is here! Went to the library, and checked it out, they didn't have it but I ordered Interlibrary Loan online, and six days later got the email. So easy and simple! The book is almost exactly what I hoped and desired it was, and now I'm a bit intimidated that I might not be able to live up to its standards! Which is ironic because that sort of situation is exactly what it purports to teach against (insecurity and anxiety!) So I'll learn the skill to be comfortable with it only after I read it, but might not have the skill to read it?
Anyway this is such a treasure, I'm eager to read it yadda yadda yadda. I worked at Interlibrary Loan department at my college library, and what a gift from the gods the system is that I can basically request any book that's reasonably available in the country, and they'll get it to me over a course of days and weeks. It's one of the things I'm really grateful for in this country (the other being Amtrak, but that's a different story). And by 'it' I mean the public library system!
