Today was a wonderfully geek-tastic day for two big reasons:

1) I received an “A” on my Research Proposal! It is my hope that this paper will morph into the basis for my dissertation, so getting kudos like the following note from my prof is a huge boost! 🙂

“Very well written. Methodology was particularly thorough and the explanation of anticipated statistical analyses to be conducted was right on point. Excellent proposal!”

2) Several months ago, I applied for a full-time Government instructor position at the local community college. They decided not to fill the f/t post, at that time, but they contacted me a couple of weeks ago to see if I’d be interested in adjunct (part-time) teaching. I met with them today, and it sounds promising! We talked about the spring schedule of classes, and the dept chair gave me an instructor’s edition of a textbook to take with me to peruse, so I’ll say that’s a good sign! 🙂

I realize that teaching on top of my normal juggling act will take some finesse, but it would be tremendous experience (not to mention some extra $, which is helpful in these times).

I’m very excited about both of these developments!
