A few years ago, I decided it was time to start wrapping up my college teaching career. The circumstances were finally right. I would pursue a different job that I had thought about for a long time. Within a few weeks, I had more or less made up my mind.
That was in February 2020.
You know what happened next. Within a few weeks, all specific planning stopped.
But my goal didn’t change, and for the next three years, I kept working on it, a little at a time.
To make a long story short: I guess it worked.
Late last month, I accepted an offer to teach in the history department at an independent school in the greater New York City area. Starting this autumn, I’ll be a high school teacher.
It’s not clear yet what this will mean for Blue Book Diaries, or how much of the transition I’ll be comfortable discussing here this summer. It may be time to wind down this blog, or maybe it should live on in a new form. I don’t know. In any case, I’m proud and happy.
