So... finally officially graduated from graduate school! i know, i know: I've been talking about this for weeks, most people are pretty sure i finished about a month ago, and that is just not true. what actually happened is that i skipped my last class about a month ago, making my last CLASS of graduate school a month ago (and then i quickly skipped town for a week). then about two weeks ago i finished my last project, turning it in literally the last minute it could possibly be turned in for full credit, thus finishing my last assignment for graduate school two weeks ago. and this week i got all of my grades, and NOW i am officially done with school, with a 3.78 in graduate school (Magna cum laude!). so DONE (haven't gotten the diploma yet, but whatever... close as I'm going to get at this point)
So what happens after graduate school? I'm not sure,because what is supposed to happen hasn't for me yet. I know i sound like a Debbie downer, but I'm not. Not really anyway. I haven't found a job, and that happens-- apparently it has happened to over half of the people in my program. my professional life isn't the only one suffering apparently :) so I'm just hanging out, making sure i have paperwork in and stuff for more counties, subbing, and the counties i actually want to work in. I'm also doing some odd job stuff at the preschool, and will probably become someone's filing bitch here in the near future, just to make ends meet.
Other than that, I've been contemplating whether or not to move. One of the guys in my grad program is moving overseas to teach. Should i do that? i don't know. i have no idea if i should do this, but is definitely something I have always wanted to do. I've always wanted to live overseas, and a very very very long time ago i seriously wanted this. It was part of the dream, the goal for life. but now... i don't know. I can't imagine leaving Atlanta yet, but at the same time i do not want to get sucked in. And the sad thing is is that I can feel myself getting sucked in. So... do i go ahead and apply through some of the online systems for teaching overseas and see what happens, or do i just wait until I'm ready? i have no idea.
basically, life after graduate school revolves around having no earthly idea what I am supposed to be doing, or anyway to do anything i do want to do. basically.
PS: on a side note i realized how good a friend manhands is. as my cousin put it "you know you have a true friend when she will boy stalk for you". hehe :)
PPS: I caught a callahan at EOS!!!!!

I like boys and I like awkwardly looking at (or talking to)people. You're giving me too much credit for my willingness to boy stalk.
Good luck on all the job seaching stuff. Let us know how it all unwinds. And if you go abroad, I'd be super jealous...but it's a great opportunity/experience
