New Beginnings




The recruitment fair for Public History and Scholarly Publishing at ASU last week was amazing. Let's face it, I had mainly decided to go to ASU as a result of location. However, in addition to that requirement, I found out that the program provides experience in my EXACT areas of interest. Turns out (lucky for me), that the Public History MA program is one of the premier programs in the country. Their graduates have a 96% success rate of finding jobs fresh from graduation. Moreover, I get a great vibe from the faculty and feel like my time at ASU would be well spent.

I have to say, my heart will always bleed red and blue (go Wildcats!), but ASU seems to be the perfect fit. I'm excited to formally accept their offer and will hopefully receive financial aid.


In other, more exciting news, Chris is coming home this upcoming week!! The long distance monster will be vanquished and we can finally lead relatively normal lives with a relatively normal relationship :). I cannot wait to see him on a regular basis. I don't think I could ever take his presence for granted after this ordeal.

I feel like everything is falling into place. Both Chris and I are so lucky. We are watching our aspirations and passions come to fruition!
