I'll just go ahead and start this post the way most start --

I haven't posted in a while. A lot has gone on since my last post. I graduated with my MSLIS, sat around for most of the summer until I couldn't stand it any more. I started waitressing again until I couldn't stand that anymore (that didn't take long) and then I finally accepted a job as the newest member of the Bryant & Stratton College faculty. That's right, faculty.

That more or less brings us up to speed. When I accepted the job, I told them that Syracuse isn't exactly my dream city and they understood that I'll be looking for jobs outside the area. That puts me in a pretty good position to hold a full time job while I look for something I want more.

During my "time off" I did get to do a few exciting things. Sean and I went to San Diego for a week and hung out with his friend Matt, got to see Terese and went to 2 Pearl Jam shows. It was a good time. We took a quick trip to La Bufadora (Mexico) which was completely amazing. We camped on top of a cliff, we were the only ones there and we paid for our campsite with beer and cookies. I was dangerously close to staying.












Sean and I also visited WI for a week to see little baby Adian. He's a cute one.

With my new job, I work Mon - Thurs 8-2 and then factor in a little more time for grading... but basically, that's it. So that gives me Friday off every week. Since it's Friday, I don't have to work, I'm posting to my blog, looking for jobs, cleaning this awful apartment and preparing for our trip to NYC this weekend. Sean, Juliana and I are going to see the last Yankee's home game. I have become quite a weekend sports fan. Last weekend I went to see the Syracuse v. Miami football game where the Orange squeezed a victory out of the Redhaws. A battle of the degrees and SU wins.

Ok, that's all for now -- perhaps I can make Friday postings more regular -- but I have had ambitious thoughts like this before.... so no promises.
