You may call me Dr. Professor Badass

My event I've been planning for six months happened yesterday! It was a success. No hiccups. Went off without a hitch. I was so proud of my students; they are really impressive and did such good work. The HS students at the event were also really impressive; their writing was much more vulnerable than I expected, and they had really interesting things to say about some pretty heavy topics. School and local press came and stuck around for a long time. My gluten free meal was awesome. Data was collected, so now I can start writing my article for publication.

Not gonna lie. I felt like an absolute academic rock star yesterday.

Thanks! My students do, at least, come to appreciate the power of rhetoric as both weapon and shield in this world.

*nods nods*

You are very close to being done, right? Or did you finish already?

I should have defended right about now, but I'm running a little behind. Sigh. My next chance is the fall, which should be plenty of time to finish writing (though I realize I should NOT tempt fate by saying that.)

Girl, there's no way in heck you can take longer than I did. If I didn't finish the semester I did, it was over for me. Most of my committee had already retired and the remainder retired immediately after I defended. LOL

When you do go on the market, let me know, and I will help you any way I can. I've got contacts in weird places and I'd be happy to talk hiring committee and all that jazz with you. I want you to end up somewhere that deserves you!

Aww, thanks, love! I will definitely do that. *hugs*
