On my way to Guru status

So I have not posted on this blog in a long time. That is due partially to my busy schedule, and partially to the fact that I was - in a way - clocked from accessing the site...

anyway, here is the postage due.

I posted in August of last year that I had made a major decision in my life and that was to stop the forward (yes its forward,albeit slow and windy) progression in the Government Contracting/Industrial Security world and find a new direction. Well I suppose I didn't need to "find" it per se, just actual take the bridge to the new path. I knew where it was the whole time and I watched it wistfully. Now I am on it.

Why, do you ask? well that is because I received my first acceptance letter to grad school. I am no longer "applying" to grad school, nope I am "going" to grad school. I still have four schools to hear from (one of which probably needs to get my portfolio before the can make a decision - note to self send it out Monday!), but even if I only have one to choose from, its still an option.

So this fall, I quit being part of the work force, and I go back to school and become a student again. I am superbly excited.

Hopefully the deity(ies) will smile on me and I will get some sort of teaching/research assistantship/ scholarship, or other moolah. I would not mind teaching undergrads to be passionate about costume history.

And I will be on my way to Costume Guru status - as my blog so claims I am.
