Ambivalence

Music: Ministry: Houses of the Mole Today I submitted my resignation to my chair, ending my employment at LSU this June. I signed a contract to begin with the University of Texas in the fall. I am sad to leave so many dear friends. I am excited about making new ones in Austin. Aside from grading and having to judge the work of others (and having my own work judged, of course), moving to a new place is the hardest part of being a teacher/scholar sort of person. I don't weather this process terribly well (tummy aches, etc.), but the support of my colleagues here and there helps--and hurts.

Tonight's a lodge night. Looking forward to that, a diversion in fellowship.
