So, Axia College likes me. Enough to "invite me to continue the application process." Which means I had from last Friday 'til today to fill out a bunch of online forms and get them my transcripts from St. Bonaventure.
The transcript has been tricky. I faxed the request to Bonas on Monday. They sent it out Tuesday. Will it make it to Arizona by today, Thursday? Only The Shadow knows. Although I am encouraged that recently a friend's birthday cards made it to Baltimore from California in about three days with a national holiday in between.
The other hitch in my current plans is the retirement of the gentleman who was chair of the English department at CSI when I taught there. I don't know if he retired (he seemed kind of young for that) or quit (a possibility: he was ousted as chair right around the time I left, and it was apparently a pretty bitter experience) or whatever. Yikes. Now I have to go rooting around for the letter he gave me and fax it off to Axia.
But it's seeming like a really good deal, otherwise. Nine week sessions that pay as much as a fifteen-week semester (note--Maryland adjunct pay sucks pretty badly, especially if you're coming from the CUNY system, home of the Strong Union (TM)). So, we'll see how this goes.
To finish off, because you haven't seen them in a while, ladies and jellyspoons, I give you dragons!
