OK, well technically not until August 1, but I have officially been offered, and have officially accepted the position!
I heard back from the Residence Life Director at my alma mater this morning and it was the best wake-up call I've ever received! The final details will not be worked out until next week, when the whole move-out week thing is over, but the important thing is that I have the job and I am absolutely thrilled! I cannot wait to be part of the college again, and for RA Camp!!! I know this will bring a whole new set of challenges than I faced being an RA, but I know I am ready because I did an incredible amount of praying about this, and will continue to rely on God for strength and guidance as I embark on this awesome new adventure...
In other job hunting news... I have found an opening for a Communication instructor at a local technical college that I'm planning to apply for. I'm not sure what the competition will be like, and I know I'll probably be at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of experience, but it would be such a fun job to teach people about effective communication for a living because, although it may be looked at as a "soft science" it is actually rather complex because everyone communicates and interprets communication differently, so there is always something new to learn and to teach. As the first cardinal rule of communication states, "You cannot NOT communicate." :)
Also, I've discovered that Hank Aaron will be receiving an honorary doctorate from my graduate school, and will be giving the graduation address next week... unfortunately, I don't finish until December :(
