Turkey day was a blast. I spent most of my day dancing around the kitchen with my friend Mike as we cooked and cleaned our way to a Thanksgiving feast. The little bit of downtime we had was spent playing Magic the Gathering with my daughters and Stephen, my husband.
I have thought a lot lately about the things I am working towards and the things I have already attained in my life journey. I am eager to finish my MFA, but sad to leave the group of wonderful people I have grown and learned with behind. I am excited about finding a teaching job and working on my publications, and I look forward to spending more time on some artistic projects that I have been working on alone and with friends. I am thrilled that I am still envolved with myalma mater and have remained in touch with some of the best educators and friends I found there.
The next few weeks for me are going to be a handful. I am trying to finish my thesis, work full-time, still see my kids and husband and memorize a few more poems for residency. I wish everyone out there a happy holiday season.
