like sands through the hourglass...
And graduation looms over me...
About a month until I am officially a graduate. You all shall call me
"Master McClanahan". OK, not really. No, not "Mistress McClanahan" either.
That just sounds dirty.
In "dorky news I have to share", I have been named Outstanding MSW Student
for the December 2006 graduating class, an honor which I share with one
other student (there was a tie in the faculty vote, and we had the same
GPA). I'm proud of it, but it still embarasses me somewhat. I also don't
feel completely worthy, because if I'd graduated in the spring, I would not
have been chosen for this. I shouldn't minimize it, though, so I'll just
shut up about that now.
We're looking for places to relocate so Jay can seek higher-higher
education... I think we have it narrowed down to:
1) Greensboro, NC
2) Milwaukee, WI
3) Madison, WI
4) Knoxville, TN
5) Evanston, IL
6) Chapel Hill, NC
If anyone has any good feedback about any of those cities, I'd appreciate
it. Evanston is for Northwestern, which is super-competitive, so it
probably won't be a real option. Which is good, because I looked at house
prices in the Chicago area, and almost choked.
I need to find a job. Argh. It sucks, because I don't want to interview and
say, "Yeah, I'll only be here for 7 months, at the most." I might try to
stay on at my research assistant job until we leave, and go ahead and get
licensed. I'm stressed about all this. There's a lot of change going on!
