I live in New York now. Brooklyn, to be exact. Hi.
I got the job! It's a part-time position as the Young Adult Specialist at a local library, and I'll be there for at least the next 2 years while finishing up my degree.
This is really exciting for a number of reasons: it's excellent experience in exactly the field I want to work in; it pays decently (though it's only part-time, so I'll still be living partly on my financial aid) and has benefits; it's a new position, which means I have a lot of leeway in how I want to set up and run the programs; the library itself is a really cool place and I think I'm going to enjoy working there; and it gives structure to the next two years of my life, which is really as far ahead as I can ever think.
To sum up: yay!

Going dark gray until Wednesday as I drive up to Canada to celebrate the resurrection of my in-laws' savior.
If anyone has any spare job-ma hanging around, I'd be grateful if you could send Good Wishes towards my best friend/flatmate, who has headed back to Britain for a fortnight in search of a job for next year. She doesn't have any interviews lined up yet, which is pretty scary, but she's a smashing teacher. And she's sort of a Buffista-by-proxy.
Going dark until Tuesday, or, more likely, Wednsday. Off to Maine for Easter and escaping Marathon Monday.
Needing Job~ma, as I have just quit the one I got when I first rolled into town here in Minnesota. Thanks.
