Not taking time to post

With my coursework at BSU starting back up again tomorrow -- as well as a ton of changes at work -- I find myself not taking time to post here to the site. My apologies. For those of you who write in your own journals you can no doubt attest to the theraputic value of writing about your life. While more public, obviously, this writing is no less theraputic. Although, I do find myself pulling punches that I would, in a more private collection of thoughts, expound upon. That's likely just as well.

I'm taking 6 credit hours this Fall as well as working part-time for the Teacher's College. And trying to still be an active member of my family. And hold down a full-time job. It sounds like a lot (to me) but I am prayerful that Jill and I will not only live through this experience but grow from it.

One side issue that is forming is the fact that I have interest in a different assistantship position than the one I signed up for. Several months ago we took a class tour through the University Computing Data Center and I made an acquaintance there. Last week I spent some time with him and his group and they offered me an assistantship -- not knowing at the time that I already had one with TC. My interests are more squarely positioned within UCS but I must mind the toes I am stepping around. So I'm trying to work out a switch at Christmas break to UCS. That way I'll have some time with both departments and hopefully keep my bridges intact as I possibly work towards a Ph.D or full-time position (maybe). That is one of the many, many options that Jill and I are trying to work through.

It is good to be back at school, and good to have flexible employers.
