It looks like I went half of April and all of May without posting here. What have I been doing? Good question. I have been contemplating a topic change in my diss, but I am going to stick with it and revise chapter 3. I have moved to Ann Arbor for the summer, which has increased my driving but should give me time and space to write. I have been seriously contemplating a career change (more on that later), but in the meantime I am tutoring high school students in the ACT and French, and trying to scrape by without any teaching. I went on a 10-day meditation retreat, which was incredibly difficult and illiuminating and calming. My motherboard on my PC died, which put my Flash learning on hiatus (if anyone knows where to get a cheap MB with socket 939, let me know). My personal life has seen quite a bit of turmoil, but that’s become so typical I barely notice it anymore. I have been seeing a lot of movies lately, which I should probably blog about, but haven’t. Mostly just trying to survive and regrouping for a final push on this stage of my life.
