Something new
This being a time of new beginnings for me, I figured it was time to start a livejournal in ernest. I even bought a spiffy paid account, WOOT!
I've been toying with the idea of setting up a new email list that deals less with WoW and more with friends and life, but in the end it seemed overly intrusive and presumptuous that a group of 15+ people might ever care about the same random things that I do, so livejournal seemed a good compromise.
So. I've been out of touch with life for about a year now. I guess divorce will do that to you. Or maybe I'm just a slacker. In any case I've had enough of that. It's time to start over. I even made a list:
Stuff to do so I can start my life over:
1. Finish the divorce.
This should be done in the next week or two. Woot. I've signed all the paperwork and mailed it back to the lawyer.
2. Finish my degree.
This involves writing a paper about negative data. Fun. I'll be turning out an outline and a draft of the results in about 3 hours.
I think it's plausible that I could graduate by the end of June, maybe earlier.
3. Find a job.
This one's the kicker. Right now, I have no ties. I can go anywhere I want as long as there's a job available. The job I want deals with molecular biological research in aging, senescence, and longevity. At present I have no firm leads. The way I see it, establishing leads needs to rank right behind wrapping up my degree.
4. Move
Yeah, I think that covers it.
In other news, I have left Creedmoor. I'm visiting my parents this week and most likely heading to Blacksburg next week where I'll stay until the degree is complete. Hopefully I won't see too much of my ex, but if I do then I'll just smile and wave like a good boy. Also I'm taking a break from WoW. I've been logging on less and less anyway, mostly just on Nath. I decided it's just too much of a distraction right now.
