Search Committee is Over

A long day.

Early presentation and then an intense interview.

Lunch and then back for discussion of hire.

The process has been eye opening and informative beyond expectations.

I am glad to have learned what I have learned, and I feel like I've made some friends from the process.

Next year, I will be on another search for sure.

Being the incoming VP Academic, I'll have to be.

Kara has found a wonderful job opportunity for next year.

A part-time position with great pay.

Getting kids to look into their future in education.

What schools to go to and what to take.

Travel to aboriginal communities and present.

I am very excited to know that the position even exists.

I am glad to see the government taking such initiatives to get present students involved with prospective students.

Surgery is fast approaching and there are so many things to get done.

I won't be able to do much for awhile afterwards and we're moving.

I have to find a job and get ready for a baby.

Life is dropping the hammer.

I sure hope to be able to find something that will provide me the chance to use my brain.

I haven't had a job where I've really gotten to use my brain for awhile.

It's nice to contribute with your strongest asset.

It is sad to have to work "jobs" that are limiting in mental scope.

School is invaluable.

Critical thinking and problem solving on a higher level is essential to a fuller life.... for me, anyways.

I have to just push everything aside right now and sleep.

If I stress and fret about keeping up with the things I "need" to finish and complete, I'll be too tired to go into surgery prepared to recover quickly.

I have to be up early tomorrow and then Sunday I have lots to get done, as it's my last day to get bigger things ready for the move.

Monday, I have class all day and will have to spend the evening focused on relaxing and mentally preparing for the days ahead.

I am very sad at the prospect of missing classes.

I so enjoy being there to be involved in what is going on.

I hope that the painkillers for the surgery won't cloud my mental capacity too much.

I really hope to get some serious reading done and work on completing some desk/bed work.

I wonder what will be happening a year from today.
