Finish Line bound: new beginnings

An update of sorts is due in these parts.

I'm in full on career mode as I am trying to figure out a landing plan for September. I'm in the interview process to stay on and work at UCSF in my pretty much dream position (As far as educational programs go) and it would mean staying in SF for at least 3 more years.

The concepts of all this personal growth and progress, competency and documenting it, is hard for me to fathom. I just want to withdraw. But the art of movement from 9 to 3 (enneagram) is in being seen, and being seen is hard. I get stressed out around interviews, struggling to feel authentic. But, this is the trajectory, the reality of becoming who one is meant to be.

Cristin is also excited about employment. She continues to deal with her condition, but is taking a chance on working a couple days a week. The on-boarding is going to take a couple months, so we will see how things shake out.

We've had a crazy few months since the last update, we've traveled, had fun, struggled, moved, and I continue to learn and grow through my program. The end is in sight, as we have 6 more weeks of education and then another 5 weeks of work after that. I'm fully counting down and feeling so much remorse about saying goodbye and moving on.

It feels like we are packing years into this one year. It's important to slow down and take stock, and I hope we can do that every so often.
