Welcome to Graduate School at the University of Vermont. Now, read. Well, okay, that’s not the sentiment exactly (it was much more welcoming and exciting) but I am already buried under books and books and books.
Textbooks and reference books.
Architectural glossary, anyone?
Heavy reading, well recommended books.
I mention this overload of books for a few reasons. 1) I love pictures of stacks or shelves of books. 2) I am not sure how to adjust the Preservation in Pink posting schedule (it’s only my first week of classes) so bear with me. If you’ve ever considered being a guest blogger on PiP, now would be the perfect time! Seriously! 3) Posts will continue, hopefully in a mixture of academic thoughts, current events, and grad school anecdotes. Suggestions are welcome, however. 4) All of these books would be great additions to your preservation library.
For those who have gone through grad school, you probably know how I feel this first week of school (aside from psyched for our projects and field work). Any advice for the rest of us? For those who are new to grad school like me, good luck! And for those who are not yet there, don’t worry – it’s an important, personal decision to decide on when (and if) to attend graduate school.
The University of Vermont (UVM) is great so far and at orientation we received “free” coffee mugs. This is my kind of place. Oh, it’s “UVM” for Universitas Viridis Montis, or University of the Green Mountains. On the seal the phrase is Universitas V. Montis, hence UVM.
Thanks to all of the readers for bearing with the change in schedule over the summer and now.
Preservation in Pink 
Congrats on going to UVM! I graduated from there in 2007. I hope you love the Wheeler House basement! My advice is to read as much as you can (there’s rarely any time once you graduate!), and never pass up an opportunity. Lemme know if you ever have any questions, you can always email me at jewelsie@ymail.com.
Good luck! Say hi to Tom & Bob for me!
