Well, here I sit, almost at the end of the spring semester, the end of which will denote the midway point (hopefully) of my Ph.D. journey. So I look back and forward at the same time…looking back I see that I am on the right path. Everything seems to be falling into place which gives me hope for the future. I am already living my dream of teaching teachers (future and current) how to teach science better. I am doing that through my work with the MAT science student teachers. Looking forward, I have many possible paths to follow when it comes to my dissertation, though I have one that I really like…but now have to convince my advisor that it is a good topic. I am organizing my life around being a better person (i.e. meditation, yoga, and exercise) so I will not be a husk of a person when I finish. And while I have multiple papers that I should be writing now, I feel like I am on track and growing into who I am supposed to be.
Now whether I feel this way in two weeks? That is yet to be seen!
