Well, the name of my blog is a bit of a misnomer now since I am no longer abroad. I’ve been stateside for about six and a half weeks now, after surprising my parents by arriving home over a week earlier than they expected! It’s been a very fast six and a half weeks, though. I was expecting a long time to settle in, launch a full-scale job search, and spend a lot of time working on my dissertation, but those plans were cut short when I was offered a chance to work at Purdue(at least through Christmas) coordinating a new internship program. I’ve been working hard creating application forms, training presentations, and am starting to plan an orientation conference for the interns. You can actually learn about the program at www.extension.purdue.edu/military, where we have all the application materials up. And hey, if you know any students who would be interested, pass on the information, because this isn’t just for Purdue students!
In between work, I’ve managed to make a bit of headway on my dissertation by collecting all the documents I’ll analyze. I have also been to a few football games and spent lots of time with my family! It has been super rainy hear this week, though, with hardly any sunshine, which is making me a bit nostalgic for Lancaster. Hopefully I’ll have some visitors sometime!
