New Job

I just started a new job and so far it's working out nicely (other than the fact I'm fighting sleep). I'm working part-time in my University's Academic Success Center for student/athletes as a study hall monitor. Next semester I'll probably be a tutor here, so I can see what type of teacher I am and whether I like it enough to make a career out of it. Maybe I can help keep some future #1 pick in the NFL draft eligible, and he'll reward me with a phat check after he signs his contract. (A man can dream, right?) I'll still be working Sundays at the restaurant, and hopefully now we'll have more money than month, as opposed to the way it is now. The good thing about this job is that I can study while working, as Noah seems to resent my efforts to do so at home. Annette - it's a great job for a grad student if you have the time.

In the tradition of Banjo Ben I'm attempting to schedule my qualifying exams. I'd like to take them beginning in December, but it'll probably be January before I'm able to start due to Finals and Christmas. We'll see how things go. If I pass those, then it's just a matter of finishing my research project. Then all you mere mortals can kneel before me and Prayers are welcomed.

You do seem to have a Zod-complex now & then don't you? Anyway, I hope this works out to be a great move for you. Also, after seeing some of Noah's basketball moves the other night, I can see why you're focusing on football (just kidding).

Hey, Zod had some good ideas. Poor execution, but good ideas!
