I GOT THE JOB!!! and it pays about 5000, so that's cool. To put it in perspective, NDNU paid 6800 for TWO classes, and I'm getting 5000 for one at Mills. Cool. Plus, there may be a chance to teach there next semester too, depending on enrollment. So we'll see about that. But for now, I'm just happy to say that I'm employed. Awesome! Thanks for your ( Read more... )

No spoilers here... just somebody finish the goddamn book so I can talk about it. hahaha. Finished it at 2:10 a.m., and I would love to talk ( Read more... )

I haven't heard from Mills College yet, and my guess is that if they haven't called yet today (2:34) that they might not until Monday.

I've got no time to lose, but I thought I'd just say that I have an interview with Mills College tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11:30. Sweet Jesus.

This has been the craziest trip ever. We get back to California tomorrow, thank God. Sarah, I'm sorry that we haven't had time to give you a call. I would have liked to have met up, but when I write about this crazy trip, I'm sure you'll understand why. Family drama out the wazoo ( Read more... )

It has been just the longest day. We are leaving for vacation tonight, and I had to pack for me and Will. (and put away excess laundry) Then I went shopping for stuff that we need. Finally, I picked up Aric, who had a very bad day, and then we had dinner, I ran another errand, Aric gave Will a bath, and we put him to bed. It's been practically ( Read more... )

I think I wrote about 5 pages tonight, even though it seems like I did more. Oh well. I may try to work on it some more tomorrow night if I can manage to pack all my and Will's stuff during the day tomorrow. I'm only about 3/4 through my Henry 5 analysis, which is okay, but I need to tie together all the loose threads, which will take some doing. ( Read more... )

That's as in "dissertation ( Read more... )
