I was wondering when we’d hear from you and I have to say I was not surprised by this and it sounds like you’re done done
That’s probably a good thing - the clarity if nothing else
Any idea what next?
Not really, and that is definitely concern. Most of my adult life after grad school has been geared towards education in some form or fashion.
I might have an offer to teach at another school next year. I'm mulling it over to see if a change of scenery would help. My current school has a lot of problems at every single level, and I do wonder if I should see if a less soul sapping scenario may help. I figure if it doesn't, well, my overall plans are delayed by a few more months. Whatever those plans may be. But at this point I do think most of my problems are institutional rather than location specific.
