Week 38 Picture
|
Life moves on, one week at a time. Today can be called my "official" first day at Oregon State as a full assistant professor. I spent it in a college wide meeting, which was only interesting in that it was the first time that I, and many of my colleagues, got to meet the new dean and hear and hear her vision for the future of the college. Change is always a scary thing, but the things she discussed today weren't as extreme as others I've talked to anticipated. This is good news in that it means I don't have to worry as much about meeting required standards to secure the level of security I desire for me and my family.
Tonight is also the night Kimbre and Jay get back into town after their week in Colorado. I'm ready for them to be home. They are my family. There's not a whole lot that you can do to replace family when they're not there. I'm not going to lie, it's been nice being able to sleep in an extra hour on the weekends. Still, I would gladly give that up for the opportunity to give my pretty wife a kiss and know my sweet little boy is safe and sound in his own bed at night. When you boil it down to the essentials, there's not much in life greater than that.
