Health...an entirely different story
I've made a lot of changes since December. It was time, and I was finally ready. My PhD program has been a long haul, and taken a large toll, not only mentally and emotionally, but physically. Once I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, I realized it was time to start preparing for the future. The biggest aspect of that, was addressing my ( Read more... ) -

The end is near...YAY!
Life is both really busy and calm, a strange combination. I submitted my dissertation to my committee on March 8th. It was a bit of a rush doing all the formatting changes, writing the abstract, intro and conclusion (for the combination of the three papers, each individual paper already had an abstract, etc.). But it was all finished in time. I ( Read more... ) -

Decisions
I think we've come to a decision. Tomorrow I will call and talk to the chair of the department to see about some minor negociations. After a really long week of debating, I think I'm almost comfortable with this. -
Offers
The first offer will come through this week (today or tomorrow). It's not at the top of our list, but it's still doable. The city is good. The people were great. The job itself is not my ideal pick. I would be basically at a teaching school. It's a good place, it's just not much of a challenge as far a research. And I really do like research. But ( Read more... ) -
Fatigue
The hardest thing right now is fatigue. I know I'm dealing with a bit chronic fatigue. I wake up and am typically okay (as long as I get at least 8-9 hours). But then by 10 I'm yawning and feeling tired again. Not so tired to sleep but that "almost" stage of wanting a nap but not wanting to. I've gotten very good at stifling yawns. I've increased ( Read more... )
