1 month down...20 to go...

I just finished writing my first paper in over 8 years, woo-hoo. Amazing how much I thought I remembered UNTIL I tried to extract it from the far recesses of my brain!

Trying to balance school, work, friends, etc. has been quite a stretch, but I think I'm doing all right. Finding motivation to study has not been difficult since I am altogether grateful for the opportunity I've been given. I do love being a student again and I feel right at home at UT!

I do have some more good news... I received my dream position in a research library. I say "dream" because the work is interesting, the people are fun, the pay's terrific, the hours are flexible, and due to the mission of this particular organization, it's a foot in the door for practically anywhere else I may want to work after graduation. The only downside is that it's a long commute, but I'm only having to drive there twice a week so it isn't too bad.

Eventually I will post something more interesting, but this is the best I can do for now.
