Hesitant, Hopeful

I was talking to my mom today when I realized that in light of all the recent bad news, I neglected to mention a bit of good news.  I got a letter Wednesday from the Graduate Coordinator informing me that I was accepted into the Graduate Assistant Program.  My initial contract period will be 4.5 months for the Fall 2010 semester and renewal of my contract will depend upon my performance, but I got it!  I'm looking forward to getting started in the Fall, but am doubly glad I took the summer off.  Going to school and working as a GA is a lot of work.  I wrote back accepting the position, so am now waiting to hear about the orientation and all of that, which probably won't happen until late in the summer.

Now that I've imparted my bit of good news to you, much more succinctly than the last post, I'm off.  Hope you've had a good weekend!!
