Thrilling and Exciting and All Things Wonderful

This morning while I was at work I received some very exciting news. So excited that I came home, threw my bags on the floor, and wrote this message for you all:


(This picture is supposed to communicate excitement and glee and all things wonderful! Imagine me jumping up and down, and immediately calling my Mom...because that's what I did. While I was at work. ANYWAYS.) This is a very very part-time job, but it is a job nonetheless and I am completely thrilled. I'm going to keep the details mum for now, but the basics are that I will be teaching one Latin class at a school in the area. Considering that I'll also be finishing/defending my thesis and taking two seminars, one class is PERFECT.
I'm so pumped to have this opportunity. It was first mentioned to me as a possibility in the spring, so to have it come to fruition now - to have actual, real confirmation that I am indeed going to be employed - is beyond awesome. I've been super nervous about whether or not I was going to get the job all summer, and HURRAH! Now I don't have to be! And now I'm headed off for a night in Alexandria, VA with the equally as thrilling, exciting, and all things wonderful Liz so that the two of us can say goodbye to July with a bang! Happy weekend!
