Good news, everyone!

Good news! Life-changing news! Well, potentially-postal-code-altering news, anyway. My boss poked his head into my office at the end of the day to ask if I was still interested in pursuing further graduate work in TESOL. I said yes, I absolutely was, and he told me to check out this program in Vermont, and that there could be an opportunity for me to do a summer internship that would be partially, if not fully, paid for by INTERLINK! So I might be spending the summer on the East Coast! 'Anyone living out there want to take me to a clam bake? I've always wanted to go to a clam bake. Essentially, since I already have my TESOL certification, I'd be eligible for an accelerated program of study. If things work out, I'll have another Master's degree in as little as two summers!

I'm going to do some digging into the program before I decide for sure and, of course, I have to consider my financial situation before I make any big decisions. But I'm really excited about this. I think it would be quite the adventure, and if the opportunity is there, why shouldn't I take advantage of it?

I also had way too much fun today plotting RP fodder with [livejournal.com profile] nerdish. It feels so good to be creative again!

I don't know about a clam bake, but I think if you were to be in Vermont...it'd be a HELL of a lot easier for me to visit you! A drive instead of a plane ride!!! AHHHHH!!!

AND WE NEED TO PLOT, WOMAN.

Proximity for the win!

AND, OH LORD. ALLY. I HAVE BEEN FILLING OUT MICHAEL!PUP'S BACKSTORY AND IT IS AN EPIC TALE OF EPIC EPICNESS.

I must have had some kind of creative seizure last night, because I keep finding new things about this character that make me love his face.

Creative seizures >>>>>> any other kind of seizure. I still need to figure out Craigy's stuff! I'm thinking he was a WW1 vet (the way that Craig's real grandfather was) but as for the rest of it, I gotta do more research. AHHHHH I LOVE RP

I'll go to a clam bake with you, if you'll have me. :)

Oooh, Vermont is lovely. It'll involve some driving, but take time to go to Stowe while you're there. Goooooorgeous.

I've always wanted to go to a clam bake. That cracked me up. But, honestly, I kind of love clam bakes. Just sayin.

But, whee, yay! Great news! =D
