Sunday Night ponderings.
Here I am at the beginning of another week... It's the beginning of the 5th week of RIT's Spring Quarter... Aside from an Ice Storm (see Mike Axelrod's coverage) that came at the end of last week knocking out power & traffic lights, etc. to thousands of area homes, it seems like the summer is pretty near.
I don't know right now if I'll be teaching full time in the Fall Quarter yet. I continue to await word. But I am more and more willing to accept a change if one must occur. I like RIT, and I'll likely continue to work here for another year or two even if I don't have a full time job... but there is a certain draw that I've been developing recently to the "outside" world.
It has always been said that RIT is not "the real world"... And the fact that I've been here on campus now for 13+ years (started as a Freshman here in 1989) has been eating away at me a bit. Am I missing out on the real world somehow? I have really enjoyed being on this campus, making the friends that I have, working with the people I've worked with, helping to start and build some student groups... I don't regret staying as connected to this campus as I have.
But what is to happen next? I don't know. With all of the turmoil in the world that has come out since September 11, '01... I'm feeling uneasy about making choices... And this doesn't make a lot of sense. Especially since about a year ago, I felt like I was completely over it... Maybe it's the war in Iraq that has me feeling a little more uncertain or contemplative or whatever it is. But at the same time, I do feel like God is in charge and he'll put me wherever he wants me to be.
Well... I feel a little less like procrastinating now... so, back to work. Thanks to several other folks for the IM chats that have occured in the middle of the writing of this message... :)
