It's official...

I have an MA in English (Composition).

My degree won't be posted for another 10 weeks probably, and graduation is two weeks away, but everything I have to do for graduation in complete. Even the last two classes I'm taking don't really matter at this point - they're extra.

I was offered a job at a local community college and I'm hoping to get my application packet in at the end of this week, if I can get my letters of recommendation (which I'm supposed to have from everyone this week).

It feels good, even if not quite real yet.

My hair is bright pink still, from being dyed for Race for the Cure. My team was awesome - we finished in about two hours and I don't even feel that sore today. Well, okay, when I get up it hurts, but once I'm moving it's not too bad. Mom and I went shopping after and it was a nice day.

So, guess I'd better go do the last couple chores I said I would do tonight while I watch Masterpiece Theatre and get ready for the last week of classes and my last week as a student.

Happy Day! Are you happy with the job offer? Will it let you do what you want? I need to start applying at community colleges. I could teach night classes, just one or two. Keep doing what I love, and keep a great day job. We'll see.

I am happy with the offer - of course Mom wants to know what it pays, but I've not even asked yet. But yeah, I"m hoping for two or three classes this semester and then maybe more in the spring since I have to wrap up the job in Davis in the fall.

So yeah, sounds like we're finally having to reach the point of being grownups.
