None of my job applications came through, so I will be finishing my PhD in August, and teaching a course on English vocabulary as a lecturer at UCLA this fall. After this fall, I am guaranteed nothing.
In August, I am going to a conference in Pécs, Hungary.
nastasie is coming with me! After a week in Hungary, we're taking the train via Slovenia and Croatia to Italy, and doing a two-week tour of Italy. She's never been to Europe, and I've never been that far south or east in Europe, so we're both very excited! Moreover, we'll be celebrating her birthday in Italy. This is going to be an awesome trip.
