I've kinda been in hiding for the past year and a half. I haven't gone into complete seclusion as my friends on Twitter and Facebook know, but I consider those public private spaces. Or perhaps I should say public personal spaces. The space I've been avoiding is the public sphere: which is a public public space.
And the reason for this is that I've needed my own space to trek through and figure things out. At some point I realized that my life was headed exactly where I had been directing it, but that place was somewhere I didn't necessarily want to go anymore. Sometimes you've gotta pull a full stop in order to turn the ship around. While figuring things out, I've been working towards an important milestone. I'm within three credit hours of having an Associates of Science in Psychology: a milestone I'll meet by the end of the summer!
What is an AS in Psych good for? Besides my own personal interest, I've been strongly considering continuing my formal education towards an engineering degree focused on human-computer-human interaction. It comes naturally to me and a bit of code experience + background in playing with data would grant me a much greater degree of autonomy in starting a number of the entrepreneurial projects that are constantly passing through my mind.
I still don't actually know where I'm headed at this point, but I have some fresh ideas and a few new near-term projects on my plate. I feel I'm ready to start talking in public again.
And for those of you who know me well may be wondering, yes I'm being a bit of a tease. ;) More as the summer progresses!
