It's time

Not that I have that much interesting stuff to say, but I figured I'd check in. Though, as I write that I realize that I really do have stuff to write.
I received the free copies of my book yesterday. They're very skinny, but they look pretty darn cool. And they have my picture on the back, a sign of a truly great author, no?
I was offered a teaching position at Grand Valley State University last weekend. Not that HR has contacted me yet, but the head of the English department called me, we talked, and it seems pretty settled. What course? A literature course!!! Brit lit I. Holy cow! So I feel like I'm madly trying to prepare for two courses, but in reality, I'm moving pretty slowly. It's a daunting task, and I'm pretty nervous (freaked out, actually), but I'm also incredibly excited. I've wanted this for soooo long. I'll keep my job at Student Support Services at Aquinas while teaching a writing class for their gen ed dept (and conducting a math lab for SSS). Boy, I feel pretty multi talented right now. Fame and fortune are sure to follow.
