The State of Me
So I did not get into the University of Edinburgh and it doesn't look like I'll be getting the research gig in Papa New Guinea. I very dissapointed about UE, not at all about PNG. At least UE gave me a reason, one I totally get - they couldn't find someone to supervise my research. I get that, while my topic can fall under some larger Anthropology categories the topic is highly specific and if they don't feel they have the subject expertise I understand that and respect that.
So what does that mean?
I'm thinking it will be nice to be making the monies again, possibly even more than I was making at WGBH at the hight. I can pay down some debt and get some cash into savings. We will see what they are paying. I am of course still looking for other jobs and have a few irons in the fire I am waiting on. One at the Peabody Museum at Harvard which is a lng shot but would be fantastic so vibes would be welcome towards that.
So what does that mean?
- I am fully commited to the 2nd masters I am now taking at Purdue University. This is an online program for a M.Ed in Learning Design and technology.
- I really need to hunker down on the book so I can get it out by 2013
- I am staying at the dreaded job, becasue it is slightly less dreadful now and the pay will be good once I become a regualr employee. This is contingent on the pay being more than I am making now as a temp and benefits. Their may even be a chance of them paying for a semster of school as the fields are related.
- Appy to more PhD programs, namely: MIT (HASTA), Brown, BU, Chicago and UMA
