On the daily, I work anywhere between 7.5 – 8.5 hours at my job and head home to eat, watch tv, or read. I try to incorporate some time to write, to catch up on all of the international education news (and news in general), and work steadily on other projects and goals. I am no less shocked than anyone else at the amount of time that slips away from us between sleeping, eating, exercising, and the enormous amount of time we spend at “work.”

But friends – it’s time to start digging deeper into a new project.

In about 4 years, I hope to hit the road again. For a while, this time – not just three months, but a year, maybe even two. It’s a big dream, and I know it’s feasible, but I have a couple of goals in mind.

  1. I would like to write a book comparing higher education internationally.
  2. This book should be well-researched and well-written.
  3. The findings from this research will mean something.

It will likely manifest in one of three ways:

  1. This book will be part of a PhD, or –
  2. This book will be a step before a PhD, or –
  3. I will accomplish this project instead of a PhD.

TBD. First thing’s first, I need to figure out what I’m researching, and I need to start digging into the questions and topics, as well as begin meeting with various people to begin figuring out what will actually be possible.
