*my grad school applications are all done and submitted to the university of denver and the university of pittsburg.

*my conference presentation is at the sheraton in philadelphia march 24 from 11:30-12:50. nothing formal. it should be a good time. i'm probably going straight to etown as soon as i'm done b/c that's the date of the jr/sr forma,l and i'm going with amanda and sara.

life after college

I spent my 1st 2 weeks hanging out with friends and having fun, and 1 job interview at a daycare in Devon to be a toddler teacher. They told me to come back after New Years and help out in a classroom for a while to see if I liked it. New Year's day, my neighbor called asking if I needed work, and said I could work in the office til I got another job. So I've been doing that all week. I went in to the daycare Wednesday and loved it. They offered me the job today. They don't have an official start date yet, but will let me know on Tuesday when I go in to fill out paperwork. They pay really well compared to other daycares and pay for a good portion of health insurance. I'm really happy about it =)
I also got an email today that my proposal was accepted for the Eastern Psychological Conference, which is going to be in Philly in March. I'm not sure the exact date I'm presenting yet though. That should be fun. I just hope I'm not presenting Saturday afternoon b/c that's Etown's Jr/Sr formal dinner/dance, and I'm going with my roommates.
Well, that's all the big news for me right now.
