Wow. I haven’t written in forever! I just looked at my last post date: Sept. 21. Well, I blinked and now the semester is over. Yes, that’s right, this kid survived her first semester of grad school! sweeeeetttt…
Par usual, I learned a lot, both academically and personally. I was stretched and challenged in ways I never could have imagined. It was only four short months, but I feel like a different kid compared to when I started. Ahhh, change is in the air…
Some more Mizzou Musings for your pleasure…
There is a difference between having a desk job and wearing high heels to work and walking all over a college campus wearing heels. Oy! I had to interview someone for an article then I had an internship interview, both on opposite ends of campus. Oh, the blisters oh and the blood, my poor tootsies!
As it turns out, I don’t mind grading papers. As long as I’m not doing everything for the class. Being a TA was fun. I really enjoyed working with the professor teaching the class, and my fellow TA’s rocked. Dr. Craft said we were the best TA’s she has had in 10 years. Awww, I pink puffy heart her
It is not as hard as you think to get to know a whole bunch of hot soccer players
I really enjoyed getting to know them and watching them play. The Columbia College Cougars ended their season in the second round in the national tourney. Even though I won’t be reporting next fall, I think I might check them out for fun!
I keep relearning this one: it’s okay not to be in control of my future. I’m starting to enjoy watching things play out one day at a time, which for me, is kinda scary, but having faith that things will work out helps a lot
No matter what age you are, when you are thrown together with a whole bunch of people working toward a common goal, it always kind of feels like the Breakfast Club. My friends and I definitely had preconceived notions of each other, but we bonded over a difficult professor who we grew to love and respect. In turn, we began to enjoy and respect each other.
Balance is still key. I wasn’t so good at this one this semester. I’m hoping to be better being more balanced next semester. Exercise, time for me, and definitely more dancing and karaoke
Whenever you move into a new place, learn how to use the shower nobs. Otherwise, you are in for a long semester of very cold showers. Yes, folks, this happened. It didn’t occur to me until after Thanksgiving to check the nobs in the shower to remedy my cold shower debacle. Oh, Kathleeny…
The semester started off kind of rocky, but as my Dad always used to say: “It is not how you start, it is how you finish” I think I finished up pretty well, if I do say so myself.
Now it is time for some much deserved rest and relaxation with Mom and Pops Majorsky in their new diggs in Florida. Books, beach and bocce. You really can’t get any better than that
I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. May all your days be merry and bright.
xoxo from CoMo,
Kathleen
