I am looking at a different career path here. I have 18 months left to "kill" before I can apply for legal residency in the United States, which I really want to do because living so far apart from my girlfriend is just terrible and she has way more ties (family and both professional and sports career) to her country (America) than I have to my country (The Netherlands). So, basically, I want to get my BA in History and American Studies by January 2012 (and I'm right on track to do so) and than spend my money wisely on a one year MA programme here, because it's damn cheap to go to college here (we pay 90% less than in the US!) and I want to be around the time we can start looking for options for me to permanently move to America.

 

I can't really find a job or direction to go here, because I won't stay here. I have to add to my resume here and than go to America and hope for the best. There's more on it than a BA in history, including very relevant job experience, but I want a MA programma that will stand out and that's hard to find. Darn it.

History jobs BLOW here.

Lost my voice completely today...totally gone, not even a squeak haha. Ugh. I was useless at work.

So in other words, perfect day?

I'd rep it if it had one.

 

I like to rep it across the face, too.

you don't always have to rep her hard, in fact sometimes its not right, to do.

I've had a new hire shadowing me at work for the past two days...it's exhausting. The dude is like 6'3 too, much be hilarious to see him trailing behind me for 9 hours straight.

You mean eclipsing you?

Workin. Broken finger, eaten alive by mosquitoes and twisted ankle, still working.

I'm Prustian.

Which is why I take care of parts of our family business since my fathers death and I see my almost free degree from two world-class universities on two different continents as an amazing extra and wonderful opportunity to do what I love most.

 

So, how's your undergrad comin' together?

I love working on a thesis, reading in to multiple sides of the argument and than constructing my own. It's the ultimate EUREKA! moment for a historian, as we usually don't make any actual recent discoveries. We work with what we find and what other write. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for me, there is hardly any literature on the subject, so I get to construct my own.

You lucky dog. I really do envy you.

Yeah the Baby Sens play right in Binghamton. I'd be interested in playing intramural after playing with some guys that had the ability to play club and I'm definitely not as good as them :D

BTW the baby sens are awful. Also, Conn NEVER COMES TO TOWN

Got into Binghamton :happy:

:) we'll be in touch then!

kinda late for that thought :D

oh, I laughed when it wasn't cool. I laughed long and I laughed hard.

From now on, April 20th shall be known as Snooki Day.

bahahhahaha

We lose and I get rejected from my #1 realistic school that my adviser said shouldn't be a problem. Sleep will make this better :thumbs:

You'll be sober by the time you get back to NJ.

oh yeah, no issue there at all.

Will do. Good thing you're not driving in. :D

Im driving to the train station.

I'll keep you posted, I was thinking about leaving work at 430-5, a little early for a 730 start.

Lemme know. Could meet at Penn at 5, 530.

Well, I wasn't thinking that early.

What did you have in mind? I've got an hour train ride in so give me the heads up.
