I've found that my lack of direction for next year is affecting my drive to work this year. Without something to work for, why make the effort?
Possible options for next year:
1) Substitute teach and have a second job of some type.
2) Get teaching certificate and teach full time.
3) Grad school in Instrumentation.
4) Some other sort of work in instrumentation (if that's at all possible).
5) Grad school in Education.
Five options, not bad. I have no idea where to begin. Oh, and I have two additional 'pipe dreams' that I'd like to work on. The first is Film School. Most likely directing or editing - something behind the scenes anyway. The other is teaching abroad. Lindsey and I have talked about France, but I'd also love to do Norway, so maybe if we can get our collective act together (and by we I mean I).
In the meantime though, Lindsey and I are also planning our big road trip this coming summer. We've begun saving up money for it already. Of our many possible plans are a 'Great Rivers' trip where we follow along major rivers of the US to different destinations, a 'World's Best/Biggest/Smallest/etc.' trip where we'll visit such places as the largest ball of twine, the largest honey bucket, and whatever else we can find, and a 'Nation's ____ Capital' trip where we'll visit places like the Corn Capital, the Raisin Capital, and many more.
I've got things to look forward to baby.
Yeah, I've found that by highlighting the words, these comments become readable. I'll work on that though.
There's a Goshen California too, I don't know what they are. I think you were the one who told me that though.
Also, Tacoma has the largest city-run park outside of Central Park.

a) you comments page is going crazy with the colors.
b) goshen, NY (my hometown) is the home of the "Hall of Fame of the Trotter", a museum commemorating those horse races where the horses carry guys around in chariot looking things.
