Out of touch

Well- so much has happened...I am a graduate school drop-out. And you have to kind of sing that to the tune of Grease's Beauty school dropout- adds some flair. I started (barely) the Master's program at Pitt and then realized that online courses sooo weren't for me- also realized that library science isn't for me. I am and always will be a literature person. If you want me to read hundreds of pages of text, I want characters and a plot!! I guess I'm pretty spoiled. Anyway, I'm probably the first (maybe the only) person whose family's response is "Congratulations- we knew it wasn't for you!!" But I figured I'll continue the blog, just for kicks. Now to get back in the habit...

The summer's flying by and I have yet to get any decent trips in. I'm supposed to go to Maryland at some point to visit some friends- but I'm thinking that won't happen until the fall. That's OK, though- they have a cabin in the woods so fall would be a beautiful time to visit...

Other than that- yardwork, work, housework, playing w/my niece and nephew have taken up my time...oh, and getting my toe chopped really put a damper on the summer, too! But that's behind me and it's time to look ahead- to a job search. Now that I've decided not to pursue library science as a career, working in a library seems to be a waste. I could have a real salary at McDonald's!! So to save up some dinero for grad school, I have to get a more lucrative daytime gig...so wish me luck!!
