Okay, quick explanation about this picture.  Steve, the assistant music librarian at Pitt is leaving after tomorrow to start a new job in Maryland.  He has a love affair with the Muppets, thus giving me a brilliant idea for his parting gift.

If anyone has not seen Aida, I HIGHLY recommend it.  I saw it (for free!) with Joe at the West Virginia Public Theater on Thursday night and for the first time in a long time, felt like the people on stage really deserved the standing ovation.  First of all, the music by Elton John and Tim Rice is fantastic and the people performing the lead roles ( Read more... )

So I was able to finish the CV and sent off the stuff for the grant.  Supposedly, I'll hear by October 15 if I was selected.  Let's just say that I'm not going to hold my breath.  :)

Am I the only Buffalonian who speaks very quickly?  I know that I talk at a high rate of speed but it would be far more comforting if I knew I wasn't alone.  I'm trying ( Read more... )

So this week has been okay.  One last minute paper, but it wasn't too bad.  It was one of those lovely deals where you can fake your way through it because it's just based on an observation completed at a library.  Not much stress.  I was worried about this weekend because of everything going on, but it could be worse.  I went Thursday night to ( Read more... )

Yeah, so it's been an insanely long time since a real posting in this thing. I'll do my best to try to give some highlights from the last 6+ months and then I'll work on trying to update this thing regularly.

My roommate Ashley seems very nice and friendly. I am slowly starting to explore the surrounding area of Wilkinsburgh (for those keeping track, I ( Read more... )

I leave in less than seven hours...

T-minus five days of student teaching! And what's even more, 12 days until Pittsburgh is my new home. WOW. The semester I thought I would never get through is nearly fnished. I am nearly a graduate student. WOW. I feel so old. I can't blieve that i am almost done with Fredonia. It seemed as if my time at Fredona would go on forever. Ha, so ( Read more... )

It seems like every day my life is changing! Today, I agreed on an apartment. I'll be moving down on December 29th. I know that it will be time to move soon. I mean, already, it's only 47 days away. That is so scary! Packing up my life and transporting it two hundred-some miles away. I really have to question whether or not I am ready to go ( Read more... )
