Another Cup of Black Tea

I love books, travel, tea, cats, and horses. I live and go to college in Washington, D.C., but I belong in Britain. I'm majoring in Classical Studies and History.

I read to dream.

The great internal peace that comes from knowing that you are doing the right thing, even if it is not precisely what other people expected.

Re “Fearing Well”: Thank you for listing librarians as “trusted authorities” in your matrix of things in 2012 that we don’t fear and that aren’t considered dangerous. If only we could convince students.
