This post is meant to be a (hopefully) living article with statements about things I want to do. That is, I expect to add to this as I think of things. I also might check off items that I do.
Something that I want to do can be anything, but in order to make it onto this page, it will probably be somewhat significant. It could be an aspiration or goal, though I won't limit myself to that. In general, this post should help me remember things and also let me see how my desires change over time.
- Postdoc. I would like to continue working in academia, but I want to get experience with research in a related but different area. I want to work with different people. Basically, I want more and broader experience. [2009-11-10]
- Live in another country. I'm currently fulfilling one of my dreams: living in a place outside the US for at least a year. I would still like to experience life in yet another country for at least a year. At some point, I may decide I want to live somewhere permanently, but I'm not quite there. [2009-11-10]
- Get married. Yes, it's basic, but why not list it? In case I forget... [2009-11-10]
- Have kids. Probably two, but I will see how it goes. [2009-11-10]
- Teach. I would like to plan and organize my own courses. I would like to have students doing research with me. [2009-11-10]
- Travel to Russia. I learned the language for so long: wouldn't it be nice to see the place where they speak it? [2009-11-10]
- Travel to India. Such a crazy place with crazy people so different from other crazy places and other crazy people. I'd like to see different parts—north, south, east, west—not just one area. [2009-11-10]
- Visit friends in South America. Go see Juan in Colombia, Americo in Bolivia, and Marcos in Uruguay. [2009-11-10]
