Random? good by, Good "Buy," goodbye for now

Namaste Readers,

Thank you for reading along.  Thank you for humoring me.  It's been almost a year since my epic failure (?- oh histrioniks!), which prompted the creation of this blog.  For now, I feel that I've expressed what I needed to express, and it's time to just rest.  I hope you learned as much as I did.

I learned that I'm awesome (^ -^)V at initiating projects, sustaining them, completing them, and being consistent ( ex. foundation for highly probable dissertation topic, Internship, ESL Practicum, Freelance Editing/Tutoring, and GRE Review ).  I could discipline myself to write frequently ( at least every other day ); I could write for an audience; I could do research grounded in credible theory with direct application ( Writing Center/Tutor Training/Professionalization and Administrative Responsibilities ).  Teamwork for me is like breathing; I heart working with all types of people.

As for the future, it's a mystery.  Nonetheless, one can still plan ( and change that plan ) to give one guidance.  I renewed a temporary contract for my current part time job, and next month (October), I plan to take the GRE Lit test, and finalize my applications for several Ph.D. programs in Rhetoric and Composition.  Afterwards, I will apply to the Peace Corps ( to keep my options open, and to help others while traveling not so aimlessly ) and continue to apply to jobs with Assistant Director positions ( with all my experience, I feel that this is the right level for me in order to continue growing [professionally, etc.] ).  I will take RANDOM classes just to keep the fire of curiosity burning, and I will continue to explore ( in order to settle ); I will run...
