The Last Post I Can Label Under "Grad School"

I took this picture of G reading on the floor the other day with Roo Roo:

He had to lift her ears in order to turn the page. They looked so cute together, and when I ran to get my phone I told him not to move because I was going to take a picture. He goes, "Why are you taking a picture? So that you can then not blog about this??"

Touche.

It's been a while, loves, because I've been defending my thesis and interviewing for teaching jobs while, you know, teaching my classes, and trying not to fail as a student or an instructor or just in, like, life.

Remember me?

The past few weeks have been a bit dicey. Oh, who am I kidding? The past few months have.

In a nutshell:

• I'm no longer a grad student.
• I am the proud recipient of a Master of Arts in Literature!
• I'm now qualified to teach college classes.
• I have a teaching job at a university over the summer.
• And I'm teaching 3 college courses in the fall!
• I'll keep up my writing consultant gig and my freelance gig as well. 

It's all coming together!

In short, all the hustling of late - and, really, over the last 4 years - has paid off.

And I wanted to write and fill you in on it before we take a quick lil vacay that I'd like to blog about.

G is alive and kicking and still very much a nerd. I could include a nerdy pic here but I want you to keep reading and so I won't.

Stay tuned for a celebratory vacay!
