It doesn't - I've not heard from them yet, so no news is kinda good news? This job that I got an interview request for yesterday? Well I applied for it on Dec 5th -- these gov employers are notoriously slow, so I may not hear anything for a bit (if I do at all).

#105

That's super awesome on both counts, Alison!!

#106

Thank you!!! I think my luck is turning around.

Did you & Annie bring some good luck with you down here!?

I'm in my first relationship and she's so pretty and godddddddddddd.

#118

Glad it's working out so well, Cam!!

As for myself, I failed to mention last week, but I spoke with the Director of Doctoral Programs at Florida State University and I am consequently going to FSU not this coming Friday but the one thereafter (the 14th) for a campus visit! Still too far from acceptance for this impatient accountant, but very, very exciting nonetheless! I really can't wait. Especially because FSU seems like they have a really killer program; I'd love to go there.

And I finally uploaded some pictures to correspond with the previously mentioned vacation to Florida.

#119

You should come to Washington DC instead. FSU boo!

No, he's not. They found him living the Galapagos back in 2012.

I woudlnd'mnt mind Captain Beefheart haivng been reborn as someone who'll make similar music to Captain Beefhefart k

Kudos to my baby boy! I just did school with Ephraim. Each day we just take a few minutes and look at letters, numbers, colors, and shapes. Instead of going over everything with him like usual, I decided to ask him where is so-an-so for his colors and shapes. He pointed to all the correct colors except red and he got more than half of the 13 shapes!!! I couldn't believe it...he is only 22 months! This shows you what just a few minutes a day can do. The minds of children are amazing. The sooner you start, the better IMO.

#132

That's awesome Elo! And so true! Children's minds can absorb so much, everything is new and they have no preconceived ideas about anything. That is so cool that you get to teach him things and raise him right

#133

I know all my colors and shapes (including puce and dodecahedron) but I don't see anybody throwing me a ticker tape parade.

#134

Thanks TH, definitely. Homeschooling my children is one of my greatest joys. Financial sacrifices are made, but Epi and I know we are doing right by our children.

Such a Logan quote if I ever saw one

You are truly hilarious. Do you pee pee in the potty too Logan? Ephraim can pee pee AND poo in the potty...most of the time

And hey....when you have kids someday, I bet you won't be able to hold back your joy when they learn to read

#135

I'd like to clarify. Just b/c we choose to homeschool does not mean I look down upon those who choose other ways to school their children. We chose what was right for our family.

That's fantastic! Good for him!

I admire your decision to home school. I tend to be against it in general (gotta keep the hubby and I working.

) But in some cases, I really do think it's a wonderful thing. Yours is indeed one of those cases. (Also, if I had children, I would love to home school them. At least till Jr Hi or High School.)

Tax season is over in 2 weeks... upon which I will definitely be posting here about it!! Because at this point, that will be something to be congratulated upon getting through! The last couple of months have been something else.

But in seriousness, I am officially accepted into the University of Texas at San Antonio's Accounting PhD program!!! I will start this Fall semester. I am so absolutely stoked!!

And awesome, Elo!

This morning I finished my last exam as an undergrad. Not only was it my last exam ever (I'm hoping to do postgrad but let's pretend I'm not for the time being), it went way better than I thought it would!

I'm free! Kinda. It's great to be finally done after four years. Only trouble is being the first of my friends to finish, everyone else has exams or coursework until the 10th of May so I kinda don't know what to do with myself.

I GOT A JOB OFFER!!!!!

(Contingent on passing my background check, which should be no sweat since I'm squeaky clean. Not even a speeding ticket).

It's with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation in Tallahassee.

A SENIOR ATTORNEY POSITION

HOW IS THIS MY LIFE

#147

CONGRATULATIONS! :DDDDDDDD

#148

Congratulations Alison! I know you have been wanting this for a long time and I am really happy for you.

I guess if someone has to preside over terrible, horrible, anti-freedom regulations that are ruining America, it might as well be an awesome person like you!

This is a selected line from the letter of recommendation Logan wrote me (before extracting this passage):

I would be extremely pleased to collaborate with Alison on any future projects, and in my opinion she would be a great asset to any professional organization, even one such as yours dedicated to robbing honest, hard-working Americans of their freedoms. Alison is a committed advocate of government meddling, however, so I'm sure she will fit right in.

Yayayayayay!!!! Goosey!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!
