I live in Nashville. I play music as a hobby. I go to the farmer's market weekly. I have a husband. I am a professor at Tennessee State. I enjoy my work.
I am currently a student studying history. I have student loans. I work as a lifeguard for 5 years. My dad is an offshore driller. I want to become a history professor. I live in Nashville.
I spoke with a colleague and have some more details on paid internships. I think that might work for you. That's great news, thank you. I was getting a little worried I wouldn't be able to get any relevant experience before graduating. I'm sure we can work something out. I know that's how I got to the position I'm in now. Are there any specific types of history you want to specialise in, or a more generalist? Art history fascinates me, so I think that'd be a good thing to try to focus on. What does your colleague teach? Well that could work. We cover a broad range. US history, non-US, but we've got a gap in our art history syllabus at the moment. We have one of the older professors who will be retiring soon, he used to run a course on it so maybe we could team you up.  That'd be great! Anything to not end up on an oil rig like my dad. I'll get some details together and see what we can do. How is your dad? I bet you miss him? He's doing fine, last I heard he was getting some newbies squared away for the rig life. He's coming home for a little next month so I'm gonna visit him then. That will be nice for you to be able to get together then. How long is it before you graduate? The rest of this semester and then another year. Hopefully long enough to finish that internship if it works out! Not too long to go then. Yeah, it will be great for you to get some experience under your belt. Our university has a track record of keeping interns after graduation. Not to get your hopes up, but it's a great place to work. I'm just getting more and more excited about it, haha! Oh, have you still been keeping up with your music?
