Changes

You may have noticed my absence from writing reviews these past couple of weeks. I have a new job! I’m pursuing my dream of becoming a college instructor and have been hired by Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay to start the new Environmental Engineering Technology program. I love Environmental Engineering even more than I love Jane Austen, so I am very excited about this opportunity. I have been teaching a class as an adjunct instructor this semester and have really enjoyed it. I’ll be spending the summer developing curriculum and will start teaching the environmental program this fall. This past month has been particularly hectic trying to finish up work for my past job, start my new job full time, and also finish up teaching my class (on a separate contract). Things will get slightly better after this week when my class is finished and I just have one full time job. Well, technically I am still employed by my previous employer on a part-time as needed basis, but I will have zero hours for now.


What does this mean for Laura’s Reviews? Going from part time to full time with three kids will leave me with less time for writing reviews. I will hopefully still be able to write over the weekend and post at that time or during the week. I now have a 50 minute drive to work and a 50 minute drive home from work each day. . . which means more audiobooks!! I’ve got a few already on back log that I need to post reviews.

So please bear with me during these changes. I will hopefully have the winner for Mr. Darcy Forever posted soon and also the link for the May reviews for the Victorian Challenge. Until then, just post your reviews on the April link. Thank-you for your patience.

  4. How exciting, well done, no worries about not being here that much. I recently taught pathology for 10 years as a second job, so full-time+part-time is a bit too much. But I loved the interactions with the students
