Guess who got a job?!?!?!

Hello there wonderful people,

As most (probably all) of you know,I have spent the past 5.5 years at USC in Columbia working on my doctorate in Biomedical Sciences (specializing in Pharmacology, Physiology and Neuroscience).  Well, I'm finished!!!!  That's right, a billion years later, so it feels, I have finished.  I have also landed a job to begin in January.  Hooray for bills getting paid!!!! Come January I will be the newest addition to the Biology Department at Francis Marion University in the happening town of Florence, SC.  Oh Florence ;-)  Anyhoo, I'm super excited to have been given a position as a professor and oddly enough am also excited about moving.  Now don't get me wrong, moving in general is pretty exciting to me, but to Florence :-/  At first I was bummed because my heart has been set on Chi-town for a while now.  However, I figure that no matter where I go 1.) if I was sent there I was sent there for a reason, 2.) I'm still going to be me, 3.) the place will be what I make of it.  So, with a positive attitude I'm moving on to a new place and new phase of life.  Good bye Ramen Noodles, hello frozen PF Changs.......

So, that's all for now.  I hope that everyone has had a wonderful weekend.  I'll keep you all posted on a move date and the exciting things I find in Florence :-)

Tootles for now,
Love, peace and happiness
