more nooz from the caudle corner

Sorry to hear that Tawnia had a bummer day - I've had an absolutely delightful day. (No, I'm not pregnant.) The weather was amazing - warm, sunny, slight breeze, no humidity. I did mundane things at work all day, but it was all for next week's conference and many, many little things are no longer in my way. This is a good thing.

The nooz is that Adam is going to graduate in December instead of a whole year from now. HOORAY! We were talking a couple of nights ago about finances and school and other things, and Adam realized that he only has 18 credits to go before graduation. He'd been tossing around the idea of summer classes anyway, to get his government internship/seminar taken care of because it's really hard to get into. He spent yesterday and today talking to the financial aid office, and to professors about moving his sociology thesis from spring back to fall. He thinks he has all the clearances he needs. He has an appointment with the Dean tomorrow morning to get it finished.

He will work from January to September next year, full time at the job he already has part time on campus (he'll be Georgetown staff instead of a Georgetown student) because he's already been told that it's his once they get their grant funding. And then September next year, he'll start law school on schedule. In the end, it's not really a diversion from the plan we already had - just with a 9-month break between finishing undergrad and starting law school. And we're still planning to stay here in DC for law school because this is where some of the best schools are. But we feel really good about this change in plans - we will see what that break holds for us.
