{my topography}

The shape of daily life.

Hooray!

Posted on | May 11, 2006 |

I got the job!! 150+ applicants. 10 interviewees (is that really a word?), 2 final candidates, and I was it. WOOOHOOO!

And now I will continue with my happy dance (which really consists of tiling our new bathroom with my beloved husband, while the smell of apple blossoms wafts through the open windows, but still.)

Oh, and did I mention, they’re going to pay for grad school?

Happy dance. Happy dance.
