Gah!
So, I have an offer for the school in Maryland. I loved the community when I went and interviewed and I liked the area itself very much. Aside from no easy proximity to skiing and farther from family than I would like, it is pretty darn awesome.
Interviewed yesterday at another school...one literally ten minutes from my mother in Connecticut. ( Read more... ) -

I am so glad he was OK. Last Disney trip I witnessed a mom looking for a child who had wandered. We all frantically looked and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. All was OK after ten minutes, but the mom was so freaked, she could not stop vomiting. That fear is visceral, man.

Our school had a policy. I support it. I think it can lead to a conflict of interest, lead to favoritism, or some negative feelings. I think it opens a whole can of worms, so I support the policy.

You can tell me I am awful, but I just won't care....
So, I was supposed to do interviews for Cornell all day, but they had too many volunteers and told me last night they would not need me today. To and Aidan ski on Saturdays and my sister was already set to watch Owen for the afternoon. You can see where this is going, right.

My son, the news geek
So, tomorrow I am going to the Republican debate and Sunday I am going to the taping of This Week with George Stephanopolous. Aidan heard that, and he found out I likely get to meet George Stephanopolous, and he asked me if he could write a letter to Charles Gibson and maybe Diane Sawyer or George Stephanopolous could give it to Charles Gibson.

Amazing how different this year feels
January 1, 2011 I was feeling sad and Mopey. I was not looking forward to returning to work, I was feeling a bit trapped in my life, and even though I have wonderful family and friends, I was feeling pretty lonely. I was in a major, major funk.
Fast forward to January 1, 2012 and I feel like a new person. Obviously, to all who read my entries, I ( Read more... ) -
Christmas
Can I just tell you how much I am enjoying this break? I am sleeping in, reading, and just enjoying time with the family. Tim has been at the ski hill slot with Aidan for practice, so I have been having 1:1 time with Owen. This morning, Tim took both boys to the hill, so I have been puttering around, drinking coffee, watching TV, reading, doing ( Read more... ) -

Travel season is over, but reading season is just as busy! I aim to read 15-20 applications a day, in addition to working on sub-projects and dealing with phones, messages, etc. Still loving it 100%. I have gotten fabulous feedback from my dean. She gave me a glowing endorsement the other day during our 1:1. She told me that all the reports she has ( Read more... )
