Had a wonderful weekend over in Pittsburgh. Or if you're cool and in the know, "The Burgh". It was great hanging out with the lil' sis, and mom too. Congrats again Kate!
I haven't written an update in a while . . . oh boy, where to start. I'm living in Philadelphia now. Moved into a house with some other people that I didn't know, but were friends of a friend. That has been working out great. I got a temp job at the University of Pennsylvania. Its actually a sweet gig; good pay, potentially more interesting than answering phones, and it'll last until I start training for the fellows program, so, steady income. The location is nice too. I can walk to work everyday, which is great, unless its like today . . . nasty.
As I mentioned, training for the fellow's program begins July 1st. Still waiting to hear back about my praxis scores though. After the one month training, I'll have August off in preparation for teaching in the fall, and grad classes. I applied to Eastern University. Speaking of, I haven't heard anything back . . . I'm assuming I've been accepted. I think I'm a shoe-in since I'm in the fellows program. I won't find out where in the city I'm teaching until June 23rd. That's when site selection day is. I'm not too picky; one high needs school is as good as the next to me, however, Lindsey and I are trying to coordinate our jobs and living arrangements. We'll see how that all works out later. As for now, I'm comfortable . . . although, I could really use some wheels! Basing everything Linds and I do around the infrequent train schedule is getting annoying. I've almost always owned a car . . . and now I know why! So, I've been car shopping . . . which is fun, although slightly nerve-racking when buying used; especially in my price range because this is where the miles start getting up there . . . and nobody wants to by a lemon! But, I'm sure pictures will go up when that purchase has been made.
That's all for now.
