I was asked yesterday to be a part of the Freshman Academy! It's my dream job, if I haven't written about it before, and even better, it will be a CONTRACT! Like, I won't have to desperately look for a job every year!
After this one, at least. ;)
The only catch is that I have to re-apply for my job *this* year, and then they can offer me the actual contract. I think I'm not going to have a problem getting rehired, so I am just on cloud nine right now.
Other things that are kicking butt right now:
1. Just did round 3 of caramel; made a HORRIBLE mess, but the caramel is perfect! So, either I need to spill a ton of it, I need to not let it get to 240 degrees, or I need to add too much vanilla and/or salt. We'll see!
2. Just did three pages of writing. At this risk of sounding pretentious, I'm trying to write a memior-esqu type thing. I'm calling it "The Pro from Dover: How I learned to live alone, kind of." Yeah, I'm awesome. And to quote Neil Gaiman:
"Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters."
— Neil Gaiman
3. Sadie is learning! She is still peeing in the wrong spots, but she knows that when I say "Mat!" she is supposed to go to the pee pad and sit down. So, baby steps? Kind of?
4. Reading! I'm doing good. I finished a book on Thursday, and I spent last night reading and organizing my Kindle books into collections. I have more nonfiction than romance, and more romance than scifi/fantasy, and more scifi/fantasy than fiction. I think this is an accurate cross section of what free books you can get from Kindle, as that I where I get all my books from!
I'm just so really really happy for once, guys! WOHOO!
