One for the Good Guys...uhm...Girls
 

Way to go, M! I **KNOW** you are happy to have that behind you. Best of luck for the future. I have my fingers crossed that your will find the PERFECT job!!

ONE,
Egyptian Breeze :)

It's looking good! I am heading for a seat on the Board of Directors for the Afghan Communicator. I was worried about the time commitment and suggested possibly creating a Board of Advisors/Advisory Board to do research and perform other functions (a great way to get local professionals in the community to come on board!) for the Board of Directors. BUT, I just met with the Chair of the BoD who completely sold me on the idea of the BoD. It's a good time commitment, but it's worth it.

I'm excited about the possibilities. And, I found out that they specifically approached me because of my deep interest in inter/multiculturalism. :) I was very pleased when she told me that this organization looks for a diverse group to lead the AC because they recognize the benefits. The chairwoman told me about a Jewish board member (who had to resign to care for her newborn) who came with fresh ideas and helped the organization make significant strides. So wONEderful!

ETA: I know they have an "Advisory Committee" but these people aren't as involved with the day to day operation of the org as the Board of Advisors I was talking about. That was just an idea anyway - the name would surely be different. :)

Thanks heaps!
 

Thank you Katherine Stanley, Liz Gutierrez, Alicia East, Jaime Newsome, and LaToya Eaves for making "Diversity as Identity: Multicultural Sororities as an Alternative to Self-Segregation in the Greek Commmunity" a success at Coastal Carolina University's Celebration of Inquiry.

Thanks also for sticking around to socialize and catch up once the presentation was over.

You ladies are the best!

ONE love!

Order of Omega
 

Jacquelyn Baldeon (#2 from Spring 2k3 line) and I were both tapped for Order of Omega yesterday, the only MGC members accepted this semester!

I just made some mashed potatoes and gave my neighbor a spoonful. He started making crazy noises and said, "D*** girl, these official!" (These New Yorkers and their slang!) Then he asked for a full bowl. Then he started talking about they were so good it made him wanna slap me. LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Folks is too funny up here! :p

Good news: The place where I've been temping at just offered me full-time employment today:D

Bad news, I'll be making less money and will have to get a part-time job to make ends meet:(

For those who have been following...
 

I just got confirmation today that I will be teaching a class at Nyack College. I will also be working in conjunction with another professor who is teaching developmental/remedial English. The students will see her for regular class and then come to me for a "Writing Intensive Lab" which will include learning grammar skills and how to write effectively at the college level. This is a brand new course (in a series of developmental/remedial courses) that is being offered for the first time this fall - as part of the move to become a University.

Also, the other great news is that these two courses could potentially serve as part of my internship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An internship is required as part of the degree program.

Last Note: I know it's probably silly but I'm really excited...as a professor I get put on SALARY at the College!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

AWESOME!!!! CONGRATS!!

I know this is kinda old news, but I wanted to congratulate Rekha, a founder at ASU, for winning Miss Asia Arizona.

I've seen a really similar one that Sigma Lambda Beta has, and I think that's what was used here as a model cos it has the numbers 86 on it...could that be switched to 97 through some sort of program?

In other random news:

Valencia is awesome. Spain is awesome.
Oh, got Dean's List again.

I was wondering about the 86 thing...
