Still Here, Honest!
I know I am a bad blogger. It’s been too long since my last post and you have all probably left me and gone somewhere else. In my defense I will say I’ve been stupidly busy with classwork, house hold chores, traveling, teaching bellydancing, and organizing events. Incidentally, I started a new Tumblr blog to help get my dance name out and about. Check it out here.
It’s been over a year since I started studying again. I’ve completed 11 courses towards my degree so far, and a working on number 12 and 13. I’ve also done two extra courses for shits and giggles. If I keep going at this pace I should theoretically finish by January/February 2013. So another year and a half to go, then it’s time to figure out graduate study plans.
In October 2012 I became a member of Golden Key International Honor Society, and am currently the APUS Chapter Secretary for 2010-2011. This has seen me trying to build better community communication online in the university lounge, and recently I traveled to the APUS Commencement weekend in the Washington DC area to support Golden Key in my capacity as one of the officers.
I am also on a quest to improve my business administrative skills while I re-start the job hunting. I’ve been out of work for 2 years, ever since Flint Hills Resources shut down the Odessa plant. I’ve enjoyed spending time at home furthering my interests in dance, and travel; and the opportunity to continue school, but I think it’s time to get back on track career wise.
With that in mind I am cleaning up my LinkedIn profile, and attempting to network as much as possible. I am somewhat limited because I am unlikely to find a job that pays more than my husband. So I have to wait for him to secure employment somewhere (he’s coming to the end of a contract and is considering moving back stateside permanently), before I can think about looking. Still it’s good to be prepared. If anyone has any leads for me (or my hubby), please pass them on!
