There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction. Winston Churchill

I found this quote and thought it would be perfect for me to re-start my blogging. I have taken a very long break, and have lots to blog about. However, for those that actually read this, let me update you on two things of importance going on in my life:

1. Dissertation is going...slowly, but its going. Estimated completion is March.
2. Changing locations...moving to Chicago; which is why I selected the quote in my heading. This is a good thing...more to come.

I am packed and ready to go...but will start blogging again soon.

Change....not always a bad thing.

Many people knew that I had been interviewing for positions with post-secondary institutions and potentially moving back to where I used to live (one of the five in the MEME). Well, today I actually turned in my contract agreement for next year stating I was not returning, handed it to Palpatine, who sat there for nearly five minutes staring at it. After which I was told, that she was mad at me; but knew I had to do what made me happy, and without missing a beat asked me who was going to take over my courses.
You see (in my opinion), in the short amount of time I have been at my school, i have become a very popular teacher and teach a very popular course...so to find someone to replace me is going to happen; I am not sure how many of our student population will take the class once I am gone (I am going to encourage it).

So not 10 minutes after my telling Palpatine, three people approached me...so it spread like wildfire. I am hoping that my students don't find out before I get the chance to tell them.

Where am I going, you ask? I have accepted a position with a university teaching psychology and education classes to future teachers. I will also be potentially taking an ASB position at a local high school (possibly teaching a few classes too). I'm excited...

PS.
For the three people that read this...I will miss all of you; it seems like we just started to get to know each other. However, please know that you are all considered my friends and hope to keep in touch with all of you after I leave.

Same Bat time, same Bat channel...
