Master Of.....

I got my exam results via e-mail last week. I got a "Pass" which is the second highest score you can get on Rutgers MA Exam! It's a relief to say the least. Everyone who knows what I've been going through the last 2.5 years was thrilled with my success! And of course their very legitimate follow-up question is, what's next?

Well I have nothing definitive set. I'd love to jump into teaching at my local community college but so far they've overhired or only have spots open to teach in the morning or early afternoon. That doesn't work with my schedule, unfortunately! And even though I like to write I have no contacts to pick up some freelance work. Basically I either have to majorly step up my own job seekers campaign or wait each semester to find out what job openings there are at the college.

In the meantime, I'm very relieved to have my social life nearly fully restored state. Frankly it's better than ever so I'm thrilled about that! Meeting new people all the time which leads to more dating opportunities ;-). I'm reading a lot more just to keep my mind sharp and up on the latest everything...

My Fabulous Birthday Party



On Friday, March 24th, I invited a bunch of my friends out for dinner at Havana Central on W. 46th Street. We ate a lot and everyone from the various facets of my social circle got to know each other better! There's was birthday flan with a yellow candle, of course. And there were cute presents, two purses, hair accesories, and a Starbucks gift card.

After dinner, we had dessert at Ben& Jerry's. Then the last stop with just the Jerry's and Rich was the House of Brews. I made it to the last train with 10 minutes to spare, whew!
