Ok, so when I posted last, I had a 15 page paper left to write, 2 weeks of work, a lesson to write, and a job interview. And somehow last Sunday I managed to graduate with a job in hand. It's crazy. I applied for the job the last weekend in March and accepted the job May 16. I know that sounds like a long time, but for a position in academia, that's crazy. I still haven't heard from some of the places I applied to in February, much less have had 2 rounds of interviews. Yikes. From the time I sent in my application to the day I start is 10 weeks. :)
Somehow I transitioned directly from OMG everything is due in like 3 days and I graduate and life is crazy to OMG I start a job June 11 and have to find a place to live in Dubuque before then. I'm spending tomorrow there looking at apartments, then I get to head back to Madison to finish packing up my life and cleaning the apartment. I'm really excited, but I'm so sick of packing already and I'm no where near done moving, because I get to do it all in reverse soon enough in Dubuque.
I'll be an Iowa resident again. Ok, well technically for the first time as I never really listed Mt. Vernon as a permanent address, or actually voted there. It means I'll get to get new license plates and a new drivers license. That'll be a little odd. However, one cool thing I realized today when I was packing up my life was the fact that despite having gone to 3 schools and now being employed by a fourth, I have yet to repeat a mascot or a school color. Crazy, no? High school was green and gold, college was purple, grad school was red, and my job will be blue. Granted the white is repeated, but still crazy.
Ok, so much else is new, but I've got to get to bed so I can get up early to head to Dubuque tomorrow. No idea when I'll be home as I have no idea when I'll be seeing half the properties because I get to call them when I get to town. Apparently, people in Dubuque don't believe in pre-scheduling things. I think I could get used to that. :)
