More Job Search Stuff

Thanks to all of you that have been praying for my job search.
Here's the latest:

I have job offers from:

Eastern New Mexico in Portales, New Mexico
Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas
Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois
Minnesota State University - Moorhead in Moorhead, Minessota

I expect to receive an offer from Metro State in Denver, Colorado sometime this week.

I am waiting to hear back from Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan and from Seattle University in Seattle, Washington.

For these last two, I have been informed that I am not the top choice for the job and that they are waiting to hear back from the top candidate as to whether or not they will take the job. They should know this by the end of this week or early next week. If their top choice does not accept, then the job may fall to me.

I have already contacted ENMU and Benedictine College to let them know that I will not be accepting their offers. I need to get back to MSUM and Dominican University by the end of this week. Things should be getting a lot clearer by this Friday, and will probably be completely settled by sometime next week, althought its hard to say for sure.

Once that is all done, much of my energy needs to switch over to all the work that is needed to finish my thesis revisions so that I can actually graduate.

I'll try to keep y'all posted.
