Hired!

So I said that I wouldn't post any job news until I actually had some, and well, now I do!

I have been officially hired to be the SLP at an elementary school near where I live! I am so excited. My caseload will be a super-wonderful mix of speech only kids, kids in a SID/PID class (that's severely intellectually disabled/profound for you folks that don't now), and kids in a special education pre-K class.

I am relieve that I do not have to move :) Instead, I will focus on getting things finalized around my current apartment (can't believe I still haven't unpacked some boxes!) and possibly getting some new furniture to spruce up the place a little bit.

As an added bonus, they also hired me to work as an SLP for summer school so I get to start making some good money before school starts back in August!

I'm so relieved to know that I met my goal of having a job lined up before graduation. It will be nice to be able to answer the question "So, do you have job yet?" definitively. Yes, I have a job.

Seriously.

Seriously.

Blog Slacking

For my three or four readers out there, I apologize for the utter lack of blogging over the past few weeks! The puppies eat up almost every second of spare time I have. Add that to the fact that I have been sick almost every day this month with sinus crud, stomach crud, and seasonal allergies, and the whole blogging thing kind of falls to the background.

That being said, this blog post is more for the sake of, "Yes, I'm alive" than presenting any sort of useful information about my life. As usual, I still have no clue what job I will be working after graduation. One second I decide to move home, the next it's moving somewhere new, and today, I'm actually considering staying put where I am. Who knows what the future holds? In the mean time, I'm refusing to post that I've made a decision until I've signed a contract and it's all done.

This girl sure does love to make a decision but it's exhausting keeping up with my own life. I can't imagine how confusing it must be from the outside looking in!

In good news, my puppies are getting soooo big! It's hard to believe that I got them four weeks ago and how much they have grown and changed in this short time! I should probably post a picture but I am trying to find a similar one from the first week that I had them so there can be a comparison. Lucy has turned into a big bully when she's awake and the sweetest thing ever when she's sleepy. Linus is generally in a state of "what's going on?" :) He is pretty laid back and is my cuddle bug.

It's weird to think that graduation is in three weeks.... I don't ever remember not being a student. So it will be different to be on the other side of the fence! Although I can say that I am very much looking forward to the absence of test, projects, pop quizzes, and final grades in my life!

Seriously?

Seriously.
