dr. t Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 My graduation's not until Thursday, but I just picked up my wizard's robes! If you're going to charge me $80 to rent them for a week, you're damned sure I'm going to wear them every day. ashiepoo72, Heimat Historian and Gambaosaka1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiqui74 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 My husband got a great job offer in NYC! We are moving in 3 or 4 weeks. I'm headed to Harvard on Sunday for the seminar, and I'll be staying in an AirBnB place halfway between Harvard and MIT. I'm so freaking excited.

Heimat Historian Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 That's fantastic Chiqui! Congratulations to your husband. My wife found a job in Iowa City at the University. She's moving up there a week from Tuesday. It's getting real around here. ashiepoo72, Chiqui74 and cscruggs78 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr. t Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Landed an apartment. Moving up from 1BR to 3BR for essentially the same rent. Goodbye, Boston housing market, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

dr. t Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Oh my God. They have shown my apartment at least 25 times. There are 10 showings scheduled for today. Fortunately, my cats have not yet managed to escape. Heimat Historian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimat Historian Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 That sounds like fun Ashiepoo. What do you get to lecture on? In other news, we found a place to live in Iowa. Things are falling into place. Chiqui74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashiepoo72 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm covering in a survey summer course, so I get to lecture on a HUGE amount, from the Great Depression to LBJ. Gotta love survey courses. Luckily it's my wheelhouse! Congrats on finding a place! Now we all need to move to our respective cities and start our programs. So exciting! Let's make sure and stay in touch throughout, I'd love to hear about everyone's classes and projects as they progress tingdeh and Heimat Historian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToomuchLes Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) And 41 days until my move =D! I already get super excited when IU emails me. Today, they sent me information about orientation, and after reading it, I did a little jump for joy. Hopefully, no one saw cause I was walking my dog at the time.
