Poptarts Podcast (Bust Magazine)
WAKE UP AND GET REAL, Episode 39, Part II.
This episode really packs a punch. Justine mentions her upcoming book, FAME and her upcoming film, VIOLET. Kelly reveals the secrets behind her recent weight loss (hint: exhaling the fat with Sadhguru's "Inner Engineering"), her horribly-catered baby shower, and her high-fashion dogs. Preview of future episodes.
Got my graduation present in the mail today. It would be distasteful for me to say what it is, considering the cost, so I won’t. Suffice to say, I love it.
Got another SPW for you.
Dr. Monica Miller just earned her PhD from Louisiana State University at 40.
I'd be very happy to share my story--it takes a lot of encouragement to get through school. It took me four schools and seventeen years to finish my bachelor's degree,which I finished in 2008. I finished at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville with a BA in English, primarily while working there as a secretary full-time at the law school. As I neared the end, though, I really got traction--I was accepted into the master's program in English at UT, and after that, I went to Louisiana State University, where I earned a PhD in English with a minor in Women's and Gender Studies. My dissertation (and now book project) looks at the figure of the ugly woman in the work of southern women writers. After defending my dissertation in June, I moved to Atlanta this summer, where I've started a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgia Tech in digital pedagogy and multimedia composition--most of which is very new to me. (So I'm playing catch-up with a lot of technology stuff now--I'm taking a lot of your blog posts to heart!) I'm so glad that you're sharing your experiences online--being a nontraditional student is tough in so many ways. At the same time, though, I've certainly had a drive to learn and perspective on what I'm doing that I lacked in my 20s. Having just finished grading my students' first project, I'm humbled by what it takes to teach three sections of students--72 student papers are a lot. However, grading in my pajamas beats the heck out of being a secretary any day.
How am I ever going to fucking do this?
