Goals

I have officially entered the all academia world. So what do I want to accomplish? Well I have managed to get the goal of being socially conscious out of the way. Instead of the corporate life I now am able to contribute in a more societally friendly way. It is good to know that my labor isn't buying someone a bigger yacht :).

The new job requires alot of diversity in technology so I will have to come up to speed pretty fast. Perhaps Lynda.com is a good solution. We will see I am trying out one of their Flash training series in order to bone up on the AS 2.0 standard. While I enjoy more structured languages I have been using AS 1.0 for so long that it will take a bit of getting used to.

Hmm speaking of academia I had better start trying to get all my ducks in a row for graduation. I need to get my thesis gameplan well thought out and moving forward. Hopefully this will be my last class of required courses so I can merely take the rest for the joy of it :). Life as a U employee will certainly involve alot of classes I just wonder which I should choose. The choice of whether to go PhD I will hold off on for a bit until I am a tad closer on my thesis plans.
