When lost in thought, grab a blog for directions

It’s been quiet around here, lately... partially, I’ve just been too busy to post, but it would be inaccurate to say I haven’t had any free time. On the other hand, I’ve been lost in deep thought, trying to understand the path I’m on... what I’m studying in school, both the content of my current classes as well as my overall path. It’s been an interesting few months... I feel as if my life has turned upside down, and many of my priorities have been rearranged. One love stands true, however... my love for writing. So while I’d like to describe all that I’ve learned recently--that I love math, or my encouraging yet frustrating foray into the philosophy of science, or all the details I’ve gained from two classes in environmental science--all I really can do is speak in metaphors.

So, bear with me while I’m in this existential funk, and I’ll try not to let this blog grow silent. I’ll soon post something I wrote lately, in an attempt to describe my frustrations with selecting an academic path. I’ll also pull out a few old posts from my old site which have varying degrees of relevancy. For one, I’ll post one of my early Friday Fractals, to keep the flow going there. I’ll also pull out one of my favorites: A weekend for Kafka. Because I’m in an existentialist mood, and so it is. Stay tuned.
