Happy July! We have been a little (or lot) neglectful in writing, but things got a little crazy in April and May. I made it through my final exams/papers just fine, and even managed to graduate. Both sets of 'rents made it out to celebrate for graduation, which was a lot of fun. The thesis stuff was even able to get worked out, and my academic advisor agreed to read my thesis. It was very exciting to find out graduation day right after I crossed the stage that he had approved of my thesis and signed off on all the necessary forms just a couple of days earlier, so my thesis was submitted officially in bound form a few days after graduation.
Since then I have been searching and applying for jobs, catching up on sleep, spending time with Cody and other friends, and trying to enjoy the aspects of Ithaca that I missed out on last summer. We managed to spend our anniversary together this year, so we decided to go camping for a couple of days in Watkins Glen to celebrate.
The searching for and applying for jobs has been a bit frustrating as there have been lots of applications, but very little in the way of responses. I have a potential opportunity with HUD, but am waiting to hear back on that. If it comes through, it means we could be living just about anywhere in the country in early August (from Seattle to Boston to Atlanta or Kansas City to name a few options), which we are trying to potentially plan around. Our lease is up at the end of this month, so either way our time in New York will be up shortly. If things don't come together by the end of the month, I think we will be back in the Twin Cities for at least a little while while we figure out what comes next (it may turn into a longer-term thing though, as neither of us are opposed to staying there permanently if the right opportunities develop). I'm trying to be patient and hopeful right now, but at times that gets difficult. If you have any leads or thoughts for either of us, please let us know, we would be very appreciative!
