Found A Job

I'm working in the Financial Aid Office of the California Institute of Integral Studies. It offers majors in programs such as Women's Spirituality, Consciousness and Transformation and Drama Therapy. When I told my father about it, I could actually hear the sound of him shuddering over the phone.
