Saturday, while playing backgammon and drinking Jameson with my family back in GR, I received a phone call from my advisor in the English office at NMU. He called to offer me the Graduate Assistant position that I'd applied for. This means that, starting next fall, I will be teaching a Freshman Composition class, on my own, but with guidance from a mentor. In addition, all my tuition will be waived and I'll be given a stipend to live on. I am very excited. and, i just figured I would update everyone. For those of you that were praying for this, thank you. We are blessed.

Congratulations Jason! I am so happy for you! I know you will do very well! Just don't tell your class about your plan to capture a pet scorpion!
Congrats! You will be the coolest freshman prof ever.

I think if I'd taken some early comp and/or lit courses from you, rather than from certain professors who shall remain nameless and pear-shaped, I'd be a better person. Less j-j-j-jaded.
Jas.....I'm so proud of you. You are such a gift. Keep up the hard work. Luv you more than the sky. Mom
PS: Kicked dad's butt in Backgammon this weekend.
