This is what my life has felt like the last few days (although, I will not complain). In the course of the last two weeks, I got a new job at Fusion, where I found I will be the jazz teacher, teach one session of choreographic concepts, and coach the junior dance team. Whoa. I have so much to prepare for!
Then, last night, I got an email that sealed my fate for next semester. I will be teaching a history course at La Salle University. Yes, you read that right. I'm not going to publish the exact course here, but basically its a survey course taught through biographies. Now, my only problem is finding a topic, ordering books, and writing a syllabus in oh...two weeks. Then reading said books again. Ahh!
So, I went from having nothing to do, to having a very busy and fulfilling schedule. I'll still have Monday nights to play Quizzo and Friday nights, and my whole weekend. It's an ideal set up. However, I will be very busy for winter "break," which is definitely more of a blessing now that I need to get so much done.
I'm so excited for 2010.
- I'm peachy.

300.
It is fitting that this is my 300th post on "Chex in the City." So, my readership has generally stayed the same; the blog hasn't experienced any real growth, but I have. Let us look back at the last few years.
2005: I began this blog during my sophomore year, as I was looking to get away from livejournal and xanga, because well...I'm 20. The year was interesting...I had a boyfriend, I didn't have a boyfriend...not the best year of my life. Moving on.
2006: 2006 was an OK year. I got to be in my first straight show as "Mrs. McCarthy" in Red Herring, and I got elected to E-Board. However, our next show was Jekyll and Hyde and we all know how I felt / feel about that one. By junior year of college, I was again boyfriendless and just feeling lost and such. Junior year sucked, 2006 was just so-so.
2007: THIS was a good year. I went to Disney, I was "Dinah Lord" in The Philadelphia Story (my ideal straight show role), and I met the man who will become my husband in a few short months from right now. I had the best job of my life, I lived in a-15, and I really had a good time in the Masque. Yay for 2007.
2008: I got into Penn State, got the scholarship, graduated from La Salle and was sad about it. However, I also got engaged...so, the year wasn't a loss. Haha.
Now here we are at the end of 2009. It has been a banner year. I made great new friends (Nancy and Emily), I will graduate from Penn State, I moved to Philadelphia and spent copious amounts of time with my friends. Life is good. In the last two days, the final pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place. I finally got a job that can help me pay my loans and contribute to the house. I will be teaching jazz dance at Fusion School in Cherry Hill. It's a dance / music / acting school and so far, I have really enjoyed being there. I feel appreciated and in a job, that's a big deal. I also might have something else in the works that I'm very excited about, but I don't want to talk about it here. Don't worry, you'll find out if it comes through.
Tonight Jason and I head to South Central PA to spend the weekend with our families and watch me graduate. The weather may have other plans, but I'm prepared for anything. My sister came home a day early because of the storm, so that's good enough for me.
Thank you to all who have read my blog and hopefully, one day, I'll have something really interesting to say.
I'm peachy.
