RP is swimming through paper.

Develop a five year career plan (read all 4 entries…)
first try: one year draft 20 months ago

1. in one year I want to feel better about my current job and be more confident. In order for that to happen, I will probably want to be better organized with my course materials, both externally and internally. They need to be more consciously planned, and physically I need to come up with better systems, both in hard copy form and on the computer.

Also for that to happen, I will probably want to establish more regular peer assessments. More on that later.

Ultimately I also want to do a better job in the classroom. Perhaps some training in public speaking? Toastmasters? Something else similar?

2. In a year I want to have an article submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. And I want to have my bibliography at least begun online. What needs to happen for these?

3. In a year I want to have some summer fellowships lined up. In order for that to happen I have to apply for them, and I need to start thinking about that in the fall.

4. In a year I want to have some concerts with Tom lined up for the next academic year and maybe for the summer 09. I need to think about this more.

5. In a year I want to be called for some gigs and have one or two students. Need to think about this more too.

RP is swimming through paper.

this was all so laudable

and probably possible, also. But it is a year later and mostly undone.

I have been called for some gigs and have one student, possibly two.

I have most of these goals still. Actually, all of them. I just found it very hard to concentrate on them last summer, which was the logical time to do so, and also plan a wedding (not to mention adjust to a major household restructuring).

Well, I refuse to beat myself up about it all. These are still good goals, and I can still do them.


RP has gotten 3 cheers on this entry.
