I hope tomorrow is like today

I shamefully bow before you for not having posted in so long.

I knew that I would once again be drawn into the bubble that is my summer job, but I did not expect to be so negligent when it comes to my blogging duties.

So I will just jump right in.

I haven't been away from the blog because things are going badly, but because they are going well.

Job search: I have had quite a few calls about the résumés that I sent out to the Boston jobs. Unfortunately, they have all changed their tune once finding out that I am in Raleigh until the end of July - even though I clearly noted that was the case.

Yesterday I had a job interview for an adjunct position in composition. It went really well, and I'm pretty sure that they're going to offer me the position. I am feeling a bit torn about that now.

So, once again I'm a bit conflicted about whether or not I want to be in Boston or in NC. Surprisingly enough, I had a conversation last night with my Mom about it and she seemed to be pushing me towards going back to Boston. She thinks that Raleigh is too small for me now and that I will be happier in Boston. It really threw me for a loop; because I expected her to guilt trip me into moving closer to family. Moms can surprise you.

Everyone keeps reminding me that I am in a good position right now - as far as having options - but that doesn't make it any easier to make the decision. Both choices will make me happy but for very different reasons. Aaaaaah.

In other news, it's great to be back at my summer job. It's amazing how everything falls into place when everyone returns. Even though I haven't spoken to most of these people in a year, we always pick up right where we left off. The new people who were hired have fit right in as well. I love this place, because there are interesting and intelligent people around every corner. In an ideal world, this would last all year rather than six weeks.

I've been teaching at the program for the first time, and I'm really enjoying it. It surprises me that these students are as smart and articulate as the college students I was teaching...sometimes more so.

I've been negotiating a new boy situation...more about that later. But for now I'll say that I'm enjoying myself and that it was unexpected, which is usually the case, I suppose.

Unfortunately, it's time to get back to work.

To all my Boston ladies: I miss you!
