  • Today's been a weird, but overall pretty good day.
    I've contacted the local university about teaching anatomy there and they are interested.
    I've contacted Princeton University about pursuing a PhD in philosophy
    there and they have at least responded to my e mail (not just the
    auto-respond type stuff, but a hand -typed, somewhat serious response.)
    Though they seem less than optimistic, given my science background.  (Brown just flat out said
    they don't have what I'm looking for).
    And today a bulldozer came to our property and began to bulldoze trees
    to improve the drainage between our house and the (admittedly sucking)
    vineyard that I've worked so hard on..  And I walked that newly turned soil in my flip flops,
    rich Indiana top soil that had not been turned in hundreds of years, soil that will
    soon be seeded in native Indiana prairie grass, and I realized that that
    was the highlight, the best  moment of my day.

  • Connecting with the Earth - yes that is always good.

    Sounds like you have a lot of positive things happening in your life right now.

  • That sounds amazing...and beautiful

  • Oooh, good luck with the teaching job and getting your PhD.  I hope both follow through for you.

  • Good luck with that...besides, I think a science background pretty much prepares you to tackle anything, even philosophy. The problem solving aspects are similar. Is it arrogant to think that? I could be biased...

  • interesting. and good luck with the teaching thing. part of me wants to be a teacher. also, good luck with the PhD. I don't know which will be harder. Also, thanks for the sponsorship.

  • A degree in philosophy huh??? hmmmmmmmmmm Good Luck! I have every confidence in you!!! :)
