Behold the future
Everyone in the house is talking about future plans! Melanie has already picked up her cap and gown, interviewed for an internship in Philadelphia and is looking into housing there in case she gets it. Tori has signed a lease on an apartment in Oshkosh, enrolled in the teaching licensure program there and is looking into adopting a mini-beagle named Ginger to move in with her there. Megan has bought her ticket for Bolivia this summer and is still looking for a subletter (know anyone?)
I'm trying to take things one step at a time. Step one: find a job for the summer. I'm pretty sure I want to be a nanny, hopefully for some elementary aged kids who like field trips and swimming. I have an interview on Friday for a family with two boys--we'll see if I can handle it. Where are all the summer job postings on Sittercity, though? I'd like to meet a few more families before deciding...hopefully April is the month they come out.
Next fall I'll be taking mostly night classes, so I'll probably get some sort of nanny job during the day. I think I'd like to work for a family with a baby. Either way, it would be nice if the kid took naps so I could get my reading done. And I'll need to finish my 100 hours of classroom experience, too. I should be busy.
Housing is the real question for next year...I went to the housing fair a couple of weeks ago and found a management company that I'm interested. Their apartments are in the Loring Park area. My options, as I see them, are 1) Live somewhere alone, 2) Magically find a roommate to live with me somewhere or 3) Find a group of random people who need one more roommate and live with them. Luckily, it's not like there will be no housing left if I wait awhile, although I've heard many a person on the bus lately who already has their housing lined up.
Actually, step one is meeting with my advisors (4 to be exact) before registration to double check my plan for graduating next spring. I have a couple more classes to take in the fall, then in the spring I'll have to write my senior thesis. I'll graduate in May and start the education program in June. If all goes according to plan I should be in the classroom by September of '09!

What an uncertain place your current future happens to be at this time! In an attempt to determine a bit of your own destiny, do you know the subject of your thesis yet? HMMMM?
No, sir. Any suggestions?
Well...since you are one of our favorite and most gifted of creative writers, wouldn't it be fun to write a thesis that incorporates all that word's major definitions:
The-sis n.
1. a proposition advanced as an argument
2. an unproved statement, especially one serving as a premise in an argument
3. the downbeat of a bar of music
4. the first of three stages in Hegelian dialectics
5. a short, unstressed syllable in modern accentual poetry
6. a long syllable, on which the stress naturally falls, in Greek and Latin poetry
Be inspired by Don Quixote! You may need two languages to compose this thesis as you move through the six thesistic components.
Isn't it interesting that most people - including gradual students - approach a thesis by first selecting a topic rather than structure, method, and presentation opportunities.
Know it's your turn. What topics in your mind might lend themselves to this novel approach to thesisology?
Yay for upcoming graduations! I hope that your future plans pan out and aren't thwarted by life ruiners. Trust me, they SUCK.
And they ruin people's lives!
Yeah, they do that too.
Good for people to know.
