These are the trials and tribulations of the over-educated and unemployed.

Put a Fork in Me...

Because I am DONE :)

My dissertation is done and being printed and bound as I write this. I actually don't know if there is such a state as "done", as I probably could have kept on working on it for another year, so I guess it is a good thing my deadline is on Thursday! I now have to pick the bound versions up from Staples and mail them overnight to England.

I have gotten pretty good feedback from my advisor in Cambridge, so I am not really worried that it won't be accepted. The thing that I am worried about, however, is sending it to the people in Cambodia who helped me and for whom it was partially written for. I really hope it isn't dissappointing to them.

I actually finished not a moment too soon because today is the big moving day. Every other day has been the small moving day, one carload of stuff at a time. Today the big moving van is going to my old house and bringing all the furniture to the manse. I don't really feel at all sad or sentimental about moving out of that house -- it hasn't been my home in a long time.

Tonight I start school again! Haha - I am taking French at Mercer County Community College because I want to move to Paris. Oui Oui, I am serious. I want to move to Paris and do an internship with UNESCO this spring. And until then... any ideas?

Congrats on finishing your dissertations!! woohoo! i'll have a beer in your honor tonight, and hopefully one WITH you sometime soon!

And, in NC and the south, it may be preferred that women wear skirt suits, but its not required. I, however am a HUGE fan of the skirt suit over the pantsuit for a variety of reasons: 1) pantsuits make me look like a man, and I don't want to look like a man, 2) I'm under 5'9, over 110 lbs and have thighs thicker than a toothpick, so they do not complement my figure, and 3) they're just cooler because they are harder to find, although I've had some good luck at benetton recently.

Hope you're doing well! Good luck with the francais and Paris! Miss you!
