My Gerg Life – Blog

Some people have been asking me when Im going to get my Phd.  The answer is that I dont know.  I took my new job thinking I would start my Phd within the first year.  Well, its October and that year has come and I havent taken a single class yet.  I know that I only need 5 more classes + dissertation + comps to get it.  But, class has escaped my attention for now.

Why you ask?

Simply put, Im having too much fun.  I love my job exactly the way it is.  I love the people.  I love the challenge.  I love the creative freedom.  I love that I can see a concert at the student center or go look at snowboards on Allen street all while on my lunch break.

Life has been really good.  Recently, Ive had the opportunity to see some pretty amazing stuff and participate in a military exercise out in the middle of no where in Arizona. I know Im on an amazing journey when I get back from lunch and my colleagues joke that while I was gone, I missed the IED going off right up the road from your test site.  I would have never guessed while sitting my calculus class  Id be in a situation like this 8 years later.

Im loving life right now and I want to take it all in right now for only God knows what tomorrow will bring.

Its up and running!
