The past few months have been a period of reflection for me. Basically, I'm trying to decide on what I want to do next and when 'next' will be.
I could elaborate on and on as to why I've been thinking about these things, but if you've seen me at all in the past couple months, you already know why. And if you don't know, consider yourself to be in a happy state of bliss heretoforth unknown to me.
For as long as I can remember, I have harbored an interest in teaching, specifically at the college level. Here at work, I can teach a class or two, since I have my masters, but I am considering going back for my Ph.D. Potentially in Public Policy, which is a joint Ph.D. with both public policy and political science at IU. I'm starting to ask some questions about the programming and hope to learn more so I can make a decision to apply rather quickly. Seems that January is the deadline for the Fall '09 class.
If you are wondering if I can do that and still work, well, I'm wondering that too. If, and it is a big IF, I end up with a new boss that can appreciate my need to continue my education, I may have an opportunity to work a 4 day workweek, thus freeing up some time to get my classes in. If not, well ... more decisions to be made.
Such is life and the musings of me.
