This was a very good week. Examples to back up my thesis statement:
On Monday Ian and I found out we finally have a renter for our house, so thank you to everyone who was praying for us.
I did my first bit of freelance writing for the company for which I used to edit, and I got in contact with someone about a possible job at a university here, so unemployment is no longer the only thing looming on the horizon.
Yesterday I talked to two friends on the phone (I miss you Sarah and Alison!) and got to have an evening to myself since Ian was out of town.
I have been in contact with a few professors from my M.A. program, which may not sound exciting, but when you are in a degree program that trains you to seek the approval of certain people time and time again, then even after you graduate you get a rush every time they affirm you. Better than drugs, I say!
Hey I miss you. And don't knock drugs until you've tried them. But I agree, faculty praise is extremely addictive and sometimes makes you feel like a little suckling pig looking for a faculty teat to suck on.
