Social: visiting with friends, visiting with family
Ever since I decided that I wasn't looking for low-quality work just to pay the bills, but instead wanted to do something career-focused, I have been on fire with pie-in-the-sky ideas.
The problem with pie-in-the-sky ideas is that it's hard to turn them into cash in the relatively short run. The good thing is that it's very inspiring. I have been starting to research unusual job opportunities, such as looking for communications jobs at nuclear research locations or even the Canadian Space Agency. Like I said, pie-in-the-sky.
But I think I have reached the end of my convalescing stage, which was certainly necessary for the first several months of my extended sabbatical. I am now itching to get involved in something challenging and innovative and I am now dumping most of my thought and energy into figuring out what that could look like. On a daily basis I am overhauling my plans to go from computer science to sociology to business to documentary making and journalism, so there's a lot of flux.
Based on a recent suggestion from my parents, I'm going to look into the local startup community to see if there's much going on in terms of robotics. I think getting involved in the startup community is a good idea generally, though, as I have a lot of the right entrepreneurial spirit right now. I just need some more experience in the startup process in order to harness that spirit.
Anyway, exercise and socializing and the like are going well.
