Yesterday I decided to take a graduate assistantship under a friend of mine. I'm pretty good at keeping work at work and fun stuff with friends out of the office, so I think all that is going to be fine. I'm just so excited that I'm only going to be working 20 hours a week and taking a full load of classes. Yes, after tomorrow at 5pm I will officially be unemployed and will begin my life as a full time student. IT's all so surreal. Emo says he's ready for me to be done with school. He claims he's never known anyone who has gone to school as long as me. Granted we've been married twelve years and I have been going to school for the majority of that time. But, I really enjoy taking classes and hopefully by next December you'll have to call me Doc.
Okay, so I'm taking this assistantship, right? I can't believe it, but I'm going to have my own office and a brand spankin' new computer. For those of you who know anything about academia, this is typically unheard of for a first time graduate assistant (or a life time graduate assistant for that matter). I can't wait to get in there and start decorating. But for now it's...focus, focus, focus on finishing up this crappy job of mine.
Thanks, you guys for hanging in there with me through all my crappy craziness.
