It’s tough being so close to graduation and needing to work on completing my thesis, and at the same time being worried about getting jobs. I know it’s no different than anything else in life, but I have to juggle several different things. If you know me personally, you’re probably aware that Boston is in my aim for after grad school. That’s not to say we’re absolutely moving there, but if I don’t get any full-time job offers elsewhere, then there’s a very strong chance we’re heading straight to the coldest place we will have ever lived.

So I have a colleague who has connections in Boston; connections that should be willing to meet with me when I plan a trip up there. That colleague has to contact said connections, get the go-ahead and then confirm with me that they are available. I also have to procure a place to stay for the days I visit—fortunately I have a friend who is gracious enough to let me stay with her. And then I must get a flight. After Boston, the plan is to fly down to NYC to meet with Eric for a couple of days of the Whitney Biennial and other art schtuff, which obviously means I have to keep him in the loop.

So assuming all of those things fall into place, I might get a few teaching gigs in Boston. And then again, I might not.
