Varying heights

Over the past few months, I had been visiting the medical services for various reasons, and they have been taking my height and weight each time. When my weight varies, that's not really a problem since I do grow a bit around the waist every once in a while, which goes back down when I exercise a bit more or eat a bit more salad.

But my height... that has been the one that I found a bit funny. I am past puberty, so I should not be growing, and it is a bit too early to be shrinking, but my height has been varying. I used to think I am 1.78m tall, but once, my height was measured as 1.82m. Wow, 4cm growth... Then, after a few months, it dropped to 1.78m. And then, today, 1.80m.

Height range now is 1.78m to 1.82m, a 4cm range. I wonder when this "variance" will stabilise...

I was a librarian

I love books. I love reading. So much so, I became a librarian at my school's library. Because as a librarian, I was given the privilege of being able to borrow more books compared to the average student. And I also get to sort out books being returned by others, and I actually get to set aside those that interest me.

Looking back, it was a pity that I didn't do more as a librarian. All I did was man the counter to help people borrowing and returning books, and putting books back onto the shelves (properly sorted, of course). I could have done more, of course. If I were to become a librarian again, I would set up a small corner introducing books. Rotated weekly, a selection of books based on a certain theme each week. The librarian's pick.

I love to read. I still do. Even with e-books, nothing beats having a physical copy of a good book.
