Jules Across The Pond

Flaking in and out...

Sorry I've been such a non presence lately...things have been crazy.

I finally graduated...so now technically I'm Dr. Julie...  Sounds awful pretentious...especially since I still don't know what I'm going to do with my doctorate.

My stepdad says there's a position I could fill on the school board starting this fall if I wanted to...he says my degree overqualifies me, but if I want it, he could get me in and at least I'd have my foot in the education door if that's the route I decide to take.  I'd rather do research than teaching, and I especially wouldn't want to be in education administration...but apparently they have extended their budget for books and would like someone to advise the new literary curriculum.  He thinks I could have a lot of fun...I told him I might take it, but only under the knowledge that it's only temporary until I find something else that I really like.

I have lost touch with most of my friends both in Manchester and in California.  I haven't yet made any friends here in Utah, so I hang out with my sister a lot.  We've done a lot of swimming since it's warmed up, and I'm getting a fairly nice tan.

Anyway, I have made a goal to write at least once a week on here to keep up with you folks...and I'll try to dedicate some time to reading your blogs again too and finding out what's going on with you guys...

Take care...
