Hello World!
I survived my dissertation defense on Tuesday! This week has been crazy… orientation for my new job, defending, department meetings, all faculty meetings, relatives, a party, the mega mall, and a daughter with pink eye. My head is still swimming.
As I transition from grad student to “assistant professor” I am nervous. This is because I am working at a private liberal arts school for one year. Quite different for the IA girl who has attended only public universities. I’m excited, but I can’t believe how different some things are. Like the honor code in taking exams. I understand it, but I’m glad someone told me about it!
This week has been about being “on”. Meaning, I’ve had little time for myself except for my commute time. But now I’m a Dr.!!!! More later!
