I've been incommunicado for quite a while, working through some personal issues and struggling through the month of September, which is always rough for me. September is in its final hours, now, though. And I'm happy to be able to close the month with some excellent news:

I haven't even read through the whole thing yet, but I'm so excited you have a job. That is *wonderful* news. I must admit I'm a little bummed your job isn't here *pout*...... but I'm still happy for you!!!! Way to go!!!! :-D *doing the happy dance*

Ok, now that I've read through the whole thing, how long is it going to take you to finish your bachelor's degree? And when/where will you be doing law school? And as far as salary negotiation, can't help ya, though I wish I could. I'm just now starting to learn the fine art of negotiation myself.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The time required to finish my degree will depend. If I do course overloads to compensate for changing my major, I can get it done in 1 year, flat. If I refuse to give up sleep as a hobby, 1 1/2 years. *g*

For law school, I don't know. I'm still partial to Columbia, because Ruth Bader Ginsburg went there, but I don't know anybody in NYC. Though law students have limited free time, it would be nice to have friends around that I can spend my free time with. So for that reason I'm also looking at Washington and Florida law schools. And Georgia, because I do have friends here too, but that's my last resort -- I'm feeling burnt out on this area, and feeling it's time (or soon will be) for a change of scenery.

You may end up stuck with me as a neighbor yet, m'dear. It just won't be for a year or two, yet, thanks to my getting a job close to home. :-D

Yeah, but just think! If you went to NYC, that'd give *me* a really good excuse to get my a*s up there. Hee hee hee...... :)

Looking on the bright side, now that I'll be earning a salary I'll be able to afford to visit sometimes, at least. :-)

Plus, when I have a couple years experience on my resume, it probably won't be difficult for me to relocate... ;-)
