Sometimes life is good to you. It throws out favors as if it has beads on a mardi gras float. Today is that sometime. :)
Today is the final day of classes. I'm officially done with the GA of un-fun-ness.
Today is the day in which I arranged for an undergraduate assistant for an amazing professor with an amazing class. Specifically, this is my professor that taught the course about Stigma that I took last semester, and, specifically, this is his Honors Introduction to Psychology course. This means that 1. I will have some awesome reading as a part of the assistantship, 2. I will get to lead discussion, rather than teach class PRN, 3. I will be working with adults that want to do well and are generally well-behaved, and 4. the class is much, much smaller than his other 113-student intro course. Ack. It should be more like 30. Or 35. :) I am so excited about this one. We'll be reading Frankl, which is one of my favorites.
Today is the day that I got a job! And a perfect job nonetheless! Well, mostly perfect. It is only for 10-15 hours a week, in the evening and on Saturdays. (Very convenient). It is at the counseling center. It is EASY. :) It doesn't pay huge sums, but it's enough. Also, the job isn't just a summer job, I can hold it through next year as well. :) I start training next week.
Today is the day that is just over a week from my va-ca-tion with the husband to see the parents. : ) Mmmm....
Also, I'm starting violin back up after my recital. This year, I'm playing Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, Bach's a-minor Sonata for solo violin, a Mozart Sonata (which one is still unknown), and maybe Dvorak's Four Romantic Pieces. :) Yay!
Plus, the weather is lovely, I'm about to pig out at El Burrito Loco for dinner tonight, and I have the Bullying Paper for my research group off of my chest. Whew. Just three more finals to go (only two of which concern me in the least).
Oh, and my Aloe didn't die last night due to limb loss. Good news, too.
I suggest you give 40% O2 and an aspirin to your aloe plant and call me in the morning....hahaha!
You sound like your life is all planned out for you. I do hope it will be pleasant. And have a nice va-ca-tion in A-Ri-Zo-Na! I'll be there May 20th myself mit Maman. Ooh!Ooh! I just realized I'll see you this weekend. Yipppee yahoo! The yard is berry nice so far this year......
Wow! An assistantship where you are actually assisting someone! They do exist! (it sort of rankled me that I was a "teaching assistant" when there was just me - no one to assist)
It does sound like a lovely time ahead of you. And I look forward to the opportunity to listening to next year's selection of music.
Any plans to visit Rae & Eric before mid-June? (or Rae, do you plan on visiting Maman & Papa again before or around mid-June?) We finally found a carrier for our cargo to Haifa - we just have to get it to DC . . .
We just visited the International Baha'i Archives building today . . . wow. Wow. Wow. Y'all are signed up for pilgrimage, right? Wow.
Broken aloe plants must be running in the family - I had to sacrifice one of the arms on our plants to mend a burn on my arm - kitchens tend to do that to me. If you would like to recruit more aloe for your return, we'll have a lot and they are portable.
Glad to hear your days are going well - we'll look forward to a visit in PHX - fyi, Andy moved into an apartment this weekend w/ friends. The house is open:)
Much love !
