Much has changed, though much stays the same, since the last time I posted a blog. I am now officially a Ph.D.; although, I won't have my official transcript or diploma UNTIL I pay the U of A(pathy). Buggerers. Whore-son dogs, as Pound would call 'em. I'm also living in Baton Rouge and teaching at LSU. Geaux Tigers!
It was a difficult move since I wasn't even making enough at Southside ISD to get by. Thank GOD for good friends.
And, it's my first Mardi Gras in South Louisiana. The King cake here is DEEE-licious! More importantly, those extra days off will be savored far more than tasty baked goods. Maybe then I can catch up on grading. Ha! I'm better now that I don't have to write a dissertation in my 'spare time' but I still struggle with the discipline required to grade 60+ papers quickly and impartially.
Another change is that my dear old cat, Maui, is no longer with us. She passed away in August and before suffering through yet another move.
