Good Day all,
It has been several very eventful weeks since my last post. As for myself, I have completed my summer studies and received satisfactory marks in all classes. I have a roughly two week break between summer and fall instruction and will do my best to rest as I have been running myself to the ends. I was voted in as an officer in the schools only fraternity/ honor society the Alpha Phi Nu chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. My position will be V.P. of Communication. I did opt out of participating in Student Government Association, Ambassadors, and the Student Activities Board as I was concerned with over-committing myself. I have continued and will continue to participate in the work-study program, however I am scaling back my hours.

My wife was finally able to complete and submit her thesis and the two bound copies have been delivered to Royal Holloway. While she is still unhappily working at the troop store, she is awaiting word from Park University on the military base for her first teaching position. She has been considering taking a few more master's level classes to increase her potential employ-ability as an adjunct instructor.

My daughter has gone to her middle school for about a month now and despite protestations, I believe that she is liking it much more than her previous primary school. At the very least she is enjoying the band and choir/chorus classes. She has stopped her horse riding lessons for now as it has been so hot and humid outside. We intend, I believe, to find her a new riding school in the fall as it cools.

I hope all are well.
