Ah. Free at last!
Friday was the last day of classes for me. The memoir class was WAY more fun than I expected, and is definitely in the top two or three classes I’ve ever taken. I wish there had been more creative writing classes available during my time as a student. If you’d like to read some of my stories, go to http://www.thearcaneum.com and look in the “Creative Writing” section. My user name there is “Dr. Arcane.” I still have a few more to finish up and proofread, but I expect they’ll all be posted within a few days.
When I last posted here, I had four TEFL projects that needed to be done, and as of now three of them are completed and only one remains, which is the project for today (and tomorrow if I have a bad day). After that, I have those stories to clean up and turn in, followed by my Master’s Independent Paper to finish up, and I’m done with school, maybe forever. That’s scary. I had originally planned to go for another year and then apply to some PhD schools, but this TEFL thing came up and I’m going that route instead. I guess I could still do the PhD later, but I have my doubts. Anything is possible, so we’ll just have to see.
Although I have until the 16th or 17th to get all these assignments done, I really need to do as much as I can before Wednesday. I have another big project starting then that I’ll describe further in another posting. It’s very heavily related to the Japan trip, so I’ll be postings lots of details about that, probably daily. So stay turned, things are about to heat up around here in the final weeks before I leave.

Looks like your education went out with a BANG!
I am so happy that your final class was such a good experience for you!
There is absolutely nothing like finishing anything on a high note.
I have read all of your posted writings up to now, and must say that your
obvious (to me at least) wit shone through.
You have a wonderful way with words, and what you write is a pleasure to read.
Now, as you near departure, you will have a gazillion things to wrap up, and
ready for your trip. I wish you well during these last few weeks, and hope that
you remember that this is going to be fa once in a lifetime adventure.
(And then again maybe not), but whatever, your life is about to change for the better
and you will benefit from your travels so much!
Awaiting your next post
