Yes, I passed my master’s exam today. Yes, I get to come back next year for more obscure literary discussion, endless readings, and test anxiety. I couldn’t be happier.
So aside from spending several hours this morning watching the seconds tick by until my oral exam and fighting to hold down breakfast, today has been a good day. And my plan for the rest of the week is celebration. Tonight will feature a tour of Chicago’s Mexican restaurants for some margaritas, tomorrow an on-campus event for a student who will have just finished her PhD. orals, and Thursday I fly back to the east side (you know it’s the best side) for some birthday festivities done up Berkshire-style. So don’t even talk to me about work…
Unfortunately, I also have to teach 2 hours tomorrow and read Rousseau’s epic treatise on education for class on Wednesday afternoon. These tasks pale in comparison to the one I just finished, though, so you might say I’m not too worried about them. Right now I’m just ready to resume my pathetic excuse for a social life and celebrate with friends.
p.s. I've found a new favorite channel on AOL radio: Prom Songs.

wish i could find that prom song station on aol. i can just imagine: ``moments to remember,'' by the four lads, followed by marty robbins' ``a white sport coat and a pink carnation.'' my kind of stuff, especially in my old age. apc some guidance as to where it is on AOL Radio (and BTW, you're entitled to a long, sweet gloat).
