I picked up the Spanish to English Dictionary(also English to Spanish) and a thesaurus at the beginning of this year. They looked handy so I thought why not. The thesaurus has just been sitting there but the Spanish to English dictionary has come in handy. Now carrying these around make me look like I care about grammar or I care about using the right word. Well to an extent yes, but I am not to the point, checking word by word to make sure that I have used the best words possible. I carry these mainly as a precaution so that in the future if I need them, they are there. Could I live without them? Of course I could . . . I did for fifteen years so another sixty or so would not be so bad. Being somewhat more organized, somewhat more prepared is the way I am trying to go so by carrying these two books around, I think I am prepared for whatever word issues come my way.
How might a librarian view this? A librarian would most likely give me a pat on the back and say I am on the right way to success. They would believe me to be an ideal student, who comes prepared to class, one who crosses their t's and dots their i's. They would also presume that I take Spanish as my World Language class (correct they are) as an English to Spanish dictionary would serve no use in french or Italian. Shows that I am bilingual, which gives me greater capabilities when trying to communicate with others.
