Also the thought of affording the possibility of moving out of the area was appealing. I admit that I was using the people I already knew in the field as a model for this daydream, knowing how flexible their schedules often were and so on. I know now that this flexibility isn’t always the case and it might not completely work out the way that I want it to, but even working a 9 to 5 and playing music isn’t the end of the world. I don’t know how it will pan out, which is fine. Now that I am in the middle of the fray I just want to learn what I can and then move on. I am thankful for the on-campus job with MIS because I feel like I have learned more in the realm of PC hardware than I would have learned in my particular major’s curriculum. So, yeah, I don’t know what’s going to happen, and I am fine with just being in “learn mode” right now. But keeping all of my interests (and they all are equally important) above the water line is really, really difficult right now and I feel like the water is rising.

Fortunately, my students will keep me from slacking off. I predict a resurging interest in music once I start up with ECPI. Fortunately, my students will keep me from slacking off.
