so, didn't get the job. it was close, though. i have to say, after interacting with another office for a little bit, i am more aware than ever of how dysfunctional mine is...

life's lessons.

sticking around there for a while. starting grad school - finally. just MUST decide on the program. originally wanted higher ed. but then where i am is so psycho i switched to social work, so i could work with the little ones and that would be better. but now i am thinking i should really stay in higher ed. i'm 30, will be likely 35 before i complete my master's, and... you know, i'm just not sure i want to change fields that dramatically at this point in my life. i like the world of higher ed...

we'll see.

in other news, just got a new little aquarium for the office. the bettas are going back (probably, though sophie loves them so much i may just get a couple more ) and now i have room for a big fishie, too. wheee!!! thinking about a paradise gourami:



but we'll see who i fall in love with once the tank has cured. pretty sure it will be a gourami though - neat thing about them (and bettas - and i don't know what other fishies) is that they have a special organ that allows them to breathe real air. hence, quite hardy fishies.
