As life goes on...
So, I am still working on research, I am still TAing for chemistry, and I am still running against a brick wall that is the results of my research which does not like to play fair. And by fair I mean everything working out perfectly in my favor... you know fair. ;-P But seriously, I have doubts at times if I will be able to make it throught this program with a Ph. D. I am not as driven as these other people that seem to have a bed in the lab so that they can always be working on their project. My interests have always been with the field of teaching chemistry. Sometimes I wish I had thought about that and looked into the field of Chemical Education but I am not sure I knew about that way back then, and it still isn't a big field today.
Sometimes I also think about the idea of Library Science and if it would be possible to study for that as an online degree from San Jose state and still pay for house and food. And if I could even be successful with it. I should probably do more research before even thinking about it more seriously than wistfulness. I am sure I am only thinking of the fun of being surrounded by books and not realizing what else the jobs would entail. Is there a job somewhere that you are asked to look up random bits of information for people? Is that a reference librarian?
Well, life goes on whether we are ready or not.
