The school year is almost over. Two of my three schools are done for the summer, and the last one finishes up next week. I'm looking forward to summertime. Less stress, more time with the hubby who is not going away for 3 months. Yay!
I will be back at KMart, though. It looks like my first day will be the 22nd of May. I'll probably stick around in to the fall, too, as I won't be teaching as much as I was this semester. 2 sections of composition and 1 FYE course at one university, and then my open learning courses at the other. Shouldn't be too bad, especially if my boss is able to put me on morning filling like she said she wants to. I can't say I'm super excited to work in retail again, but I am looking forward to seeing my KMart peeps again. They're good people.
I've made a life decision, and this time, I'm sticking with it. MLIS. That's where I'm going. I'm working on my apps this summer so I can get them top-notch, and then I'll apply this fall for the next year's admission. So this time next year will [hopefully] find me preparing to go back to school. I'm applying to three schools: University of Indiana Bloomington, University of Washington Seattle, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Keep the fingers crossed for me. I need to nail my GRE and personal statements. My grades are good, my recommendations will be good. So if anything's going to keep my out, it will be my first standardized test score since the GRE, and my inability to express what I want out of potential career in Library Science.
Prayers and good wishes come the fall. As for now, I'm going to enjoy my brief break from the madness of teaching college composition.
