Ordinary stuff...

A new year has begun and I am busy with the ordinary things required to start a new life in an old place. Now that I have officially moved back to Newfoundland I have to switch over my Medicare and driver's license and move my financial services back here.

Meantime I have been busy applying to doctoral programs here at MUN and at Concordia in Montreal. I am kind of excited about the idea of living in Montreal. It is a place I have only visited but always wanted to live in. This may be them time for that. But going into a doctoral program does require funding so if that does not happen then I will likely leave Canada for a few years and head off around the world, working and travelling.

I have been told that with a Master's degree I should be able to land a teaching position in Southeast Asia. A year of so of that and I should be able to save enough to take another year off and travel. If that happens I will be off to Europe via India and the Mediterranean. Ah - winter in Greece or perhaps Spain. Either way I seem to be in a win/win situation.

Stay tuned.
