I've already shared this with a lot of y'all but I figure I'd post it here for all. Good to have outstanding news to post in my journal. I have finally landed an assistantship which basically means I now have a project for my Master's thesis. With this comes waiving of tuition (all but $25 of it but huge difference between 25 n' 3600). Also get a right decent living stipend that will help me with rent n' food n' all that good stuff. It feels great that I no longer have to consider hefty loans or depending on the kindness of my dear, sweet grandma to get me through Grad School. Of course I doubt she's gonna stop giving me 20's every time I see her:P^^ There's still two of my colleagues (one I kinda have a crush on I admit^^) that are in need of a project n' I so hope they can get one soon. Both young ladies are definitely deserving. Both are real hard workers as am I. I was blessed to have this come along, to be in the right place at the exact right time. It was a much needed boost for me as I felt depression seeping in over uncertainties of the future. A lot depends on how my summer session sets up but AC 2012 may be a real possibility now. May even be able to make the relatively quick drive to Atlanta for FWA if that doesn't turn out to be too hectic of a weekend. Hopefully I'll know something more concrete for both of those before end of January. No denying this will be stressful n' require a lot of time n' maybe a bit of sanity hehehe but I'm ready. Bring it on!:3
