my new job!

So, drum roll please....
....
....

I have accepted an Area Coordinator position at Clark University in Worcester, MA. It's gonna be cold there, especially after living in the desert for the past 2 years. But the staff are great, job is great, apartment is amazing, and students are great. All in all, I think I will be very happy there, and I am very excited to start in 1.5 weeks!

Thanks to everyone that has been really supportive of my job search. It has meant a lot to me.

I'm at home now and it is weird. I haven't been here in so many years, that I feel a little out of place. It's a strange feeling. And it's not really affording me a lot of privacy or support to work through my culture shock, which is still pretty bad.

On a less happy note, I have forgotten over the years just how racist and culturally incentive my family is. Having just moved back from another country a little over a week ago, hearing derogatory comments about just about every race, religion, or background, (including gay people) is not really tickling my fancy. If nothing else, it makes me really proud that I have turned out so well and am such a diversity celebrator. Apparently giving them Crash last
Christmas did nothing to curb their racisim. Boo!

But, I have a JOB!!! So, who cares...I'll challenge their stereotypes another time. haha
