Aaand…I’m back. I’ve been relatively elusive lately. When I have written it hasn’t been very substantial, and that would be a complement. Unfortunately I’m too tired and sick to do outstanding work right now…but I’ll give it a half-shot.<\/p>\n

I finished my last school assignment of the semester this afternoon. Now all I have left is a bunch of grading to do, then I’ll be ready to go home. The move is probably going to be tiring since I’ll have to transport all my stuff but I’m going to have to do it. This leads to a bunch of questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How did I do this semester?<\/li>\n
  2. Is grad school everything I expected it to be?<\/li>\n
  3. What have I learned?<\/li>\n
  4. What haven’t I learned?<\/li>\n
  5. Am I moving in a general direction toward where I really want to be?<\/li>\n
  6. Am I happy? Am I making others happy?<\/li>\n
  7. Was the cross-country move worth everything I gave up?<\/li>\n
  8. How’s the cold weather treating me?<\/li>\n
  9. Do I miss California?<\/li>\n
  10. Where do I see myself in 5 years? 10 years? 1.5 years?<\/li>\n
  11. What am I doing for the break?<\/li>\n
  12. What am I doing this summer?<\/li>\n
  13. What have I accomplished over the last semester?<\/li>\n
  14. What will I strive to accomplish next semester?<\/li>\n
  15. What kinds of personal relationships have I built?<\/li>\n
  16. Is Indiana really basketball heaven?<\/li>\n
  17. Any regrets?<\/li>\n
  18. What could I have worked harder on?<\/li>\n
  19. What am I most proud of?<\/li>\n
  20. Am I upholding the high standards I set for myself?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I think that list will do for now. In the next few days I will set out to answer these questions, and perhaps others. If you have others you’d like to see answered, please leave a comment, and maybe I’ll answer it.<\/p>\n

    For now I’ll send my aching body to dreamland…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
