The next seven weeks mark the end of my time in the MSOLE program. It turns out I’m a total school nerd and am all sad and shit that it’s almost over. So much that I’m looking at PhDs and other advanced degrees, in addition to searching for the right job (the test that shall-not-be-named went okay, I’ll know my score in a week or so).
All that aside, the last chunk should be fairly intense, as we have a rather large report to write and at least three presentations to do. The project has been really interesting and has been a great learning experience.
I do miss working (and having a refillable bank account) and am looking for contract work or a full-time gig. A good job would certainly make me re-think my whole I Love School perspective. School is awesome, but pay the bills it does not. It also does not pay for shopping sprees at Sephora, Nordstrom, Anthropologie or the 24 hour basket of goodies that is the internet.
Also, a good job could fund the distance PhD program I’d really like to do, but currently can’t afford. Or, I could get a job and get one of those life things and actually do other stuff in my spare time. What is that again?
The big icing on the graduation cake is David is taking me to Hawaii in December. I’ve never been, and am totally looking forward to it.
Mostly it’s going to be very strange when MSOLE is over. What will I do with myself on Weds. nights and Sun. afternoons? Who will listen to me yammer about ethics and philosophy and theology and not be bored silly? I think I may go back and try and beef up some of my papers and submit them for publication. Because I’m not a nerd, no not at all.
