2007 - what's new?

This is going to be a very good, very busy year.

This quarter, I'll be teaching and maintaining an assistantship, while also working on the dissertation. There are also two day trips I've planned for January, and a very interesting class I want to take that I know I won't be able to, that's really bumming me out. Add this to the fact that (in ugh news) I will actually be taking a slight financial hit to teach the class (e.g. I will be working more, but making less) than to have remained with my original assistantship, and I sometimes wonder about my decisionmaking and prioritizing abilities. In an effort to lock everything up at once, I also joined a gym.

I expect to be blogging more as there will be more to say (although less time to say it in) and as a way to help me keep track of things - more like what I did when I was studying for comps. As much as I'm trying to stay positive about all this (see paragraph 1) at the moment I'm not much convinced that in about three weeks I won't be posting "why god why" entries and wishing I could get out of one or more of my committments. Either way though, all the things I will be doing are the result of choices I've made, for good or ill. And I can do anything for 12 weeks.
