I finally heard back about my job offer. I was told that, since I probably won’t be fully cleared until January 2009, and since I have six months after being cleared to actually start work, I can actually attend graduate school during that time. Unfortunately, that gives me only one year to complete my master’s. It’s possible to complete it within a year, but I’ll have to take a killer course load and won’t really get to choose courses that actually interest me or play to my strengths. I guess, technically, if I am unable to finish within a year, I can continue taking courses online… though the online courses are offered sporadically at best. But, it is at least an option.

In short, it looks like I can both attend grad school and work for my dream company.

What does my darling husband say about all this? “Do it.” Even though it means moving from the only home he’s ever known, and the place I know he wants to stay.

So… I guess that means you can expect us to move sometime in 2009?
