This semester I decided to take one class. My intial reasoning was that it would benefit my job and increase my abilities to do what I currently do. It's a biostatistics class, so it can essentially help me to do my own analyses rather than relying on our current (and very capable) Biostatistician. The second reason, which came later, was my desire to tip my toe back into the world of academia and see whether I think PhD is feasible and something I want. I think it is, I really do. If so, do I want to do it now or do I want to wait? And if I want to wait, how long is too long?
The two ladies that I study with are both in the doctoral program; one in nursing and one in Speech and Hearing Science. Last night as we studied for our first exam and this morning as we recovered from it, they encouraged me to go for my degree. I'm just not sure if I should start it here or if I should wait to see where Matt ends up. I started looking at Johns Hopkins and Maryland in case Matt wins the Pershing's Own position. So I guess, I do want the degree, I just need to go for it. Anyone want to push?

Ahhh
There are definitely days I love living in Iowa. Monday was particularly lovely as this beautiful eagle was sitting in the tree at the end of my parking lot. He sat there long enough for me to get this picture before he flew away, soaring above the law building and up the river.
It made my heart happy.
