Wow...

I haven't felt the need to post here in a while.

A lot has happened since November - in January I set the wedding date on a spur of the moment; we've planned a lot of it; consolidated our debts.. and approaching 25 fast. We want to have kids soon.

I think what's scaring me is I'm finally adult, but haven't really prepared for it. Can you ever really be prepared for modern stereotypical adult life? I know I'll never be.

I'm 1 1/2 years into my master's, which I'm somewhat struggling to finish, although it seems many of my fellow grad students are in the same boat. I've battled with my supervisor quite a bit, as we can't seem to communicate very well with each other (let's not mind the Concordia incident.) Much of it is my fault and lack of motivation to do work, so I'm not really blaming it on him, entirely.

I need to get on top of my life, so to speak.

So... career is important. $$$, but I want to do something I enjoy. Me and Dani want to stay in the region for now...

Teaching sounded great, but 10 months of school is too much of a financial burden right now; I can't afford with wanting to move into a house, etc etc. I did enjoy that practice class I did; I know I'd like teaching, although it will have it's share of disadvantages as well.

Engineering -- this is what I went to school for, therefore it's best to pursue. :) Assuming I can finish my master's, this means I must be a bit good at it, right? :)

Wanting to stay in the Windsor/Essex County area seems really limiting right now.... that means I have to just look a bit harder. Lots of engineeringish type job opportunities in the area -- mostly contract electric work. Perhaps I should stop worrying if the first job I get is the best one. :) My confidence in doing work needs to return - I don't think I'll ever really get that from being in school. So I'm starting to hand out resumes with customized cover letters- and I decreased the verbage a bit on the resume. :)

Teaching at St. Clair would be great; but there are far less positions here seemingly; it's on an as needed basis (so the chance of getting a job is low.)

So.. ultimately, I'm still a bit indecisive about what I want to do... but I guess you gotta just "Always Move Forward" (Disney), "Move along" (All American Rejects), etc. :)
