So I'm a little preoccupied right now with the fact that the most important part of my self-identity (college teacher) is likely gone. No way can I juggle all the responsibilities of a full-time tenured prof and department chair anymore. Brain just won't do it. Treacherous bastard.
So, who shall I be? Shall I try other ways to teach? Shall I write? Shall I try to pick up an adjunct class from time to time? Shall I sit in the park and talk about how our sensory systems work?
This is interesting to me. I'm at a place in my life where i very literally have to re-invent myself. I don't know how to do that other than to do something different.
We shall see.
And I have a really short window to do it in. Like a year, if I'm lucky.
Wish me luck! I have more in me to give. I just need time to figure out how, and then some more time to do the giving.
