The Moribund Blog

Haven't felt like updating this blog recently. This is especially unfortunate because my last few entries were so damn depressing. Last month I was having a really hard time with my job situation. I have recently discovered that I don't like administrative work, and that I miss teaching terribly. After some painful emotional processing, I am once again on the hunt for that elusive tenure-track teaching position. Not too many jobs have been posted in the Spring, but I have applied to two so far. We will see what happens. In addition to job stress, I was having a rough time dealing with the realization that my mother is getting old. I was gearing up for her surprise 80th birthday party when I last posted, and was not accepting the fact that she is elderly. In turns out, that birthday party helped me to accept this fact a bit more.

Now, here it is a month later, and I feel much better. So much has been happening lately, but I haven't been into the blog. I must turn this thing around and re-energize my committment to it. For those of you who do follow these ramblings, I apologize for the hiatus and promise to write more frequently.
