Did you ever have a sense of anticipation growing in you when you don't know exactly what is going to happen but you just know that something new, something really different is coming your way? I'm getting that more and more everyday. I have been working hard to create as many opportunities and options for myself these past couple of months and it is starting to all come together.
I added a new option just last week after I discovered that (1) York University in Toronto has an interdisciplinary PhD in Humanities and (2) the application deadline for a September 2007 start is April 15th. So right now I have a host of options that may ripen into opportunities when I complete my Master of Philosophy in Humanities here at MUN. If all goes well I should be done here by mid-August but the big decision time will come before that.
By the end of April I will know whether I have been granted a SSHRC scholarship for doctoral studies. If that happens then I will start on my PhD in September. If that does not happen but I get a reasonable offer of funding I will also begin my studies.
The other direction is into teaching, probably ESL in South Korea. No matter what happens there are some really big changes coming and the anticipation is growing. I cannot remember a more exciting time in my life.
