Quirkiness is moving on...

I will be starting a new job this fall as the media specialist at a middle school. I am excited to get back to my middle school roots. I know it is where I belong simply because I get middle school kids. In fact, I'm a lot like those nutso kids...full of insecurities and weird ideas. The media center that I will be moving too is pretty brown and blah at the moment. I have spent most of my time taking down some script letters that have been hot glued all over the walls above the bookshelves. The letters spell out names of authors and although I'm sure at one time it was cool, the faded construction paper letters just aren't doing it for me. I bought some canvases and I am in the process of making some "fiction" and "nonfiction" signs to put in their place. I need a lot more color though. The county that I am working for plans to have a new school built in two years, but that means two more years of brown and blah. Surely, I will be able to counter it with something. I better get to scouring Pinterest for some ideas!
