I Picked a good name for this blog
I started writing this blog almost four years ago. I've been a very irregular poster, sometimes going for months at a time between posting. I wrote in my very first post:
" According to Wikipedia, "the liminal state is characterized by ambiguity, openness, and indeterminacy. One's sense of identity dissolves to some extent, bringing about disorientation. Liminality is a period of transition, during which your normal limits to thought, self-understanding, and behavior are relaxed, opening the way to something new."
I'm not too happy with this definition because I view liminality as that state in between. It's the time period after high school graduation and before college or an engagement period, or the time in between jobs. It's that middle state between an ending of one thing and the beginning of another.
Starting in July, my responsibilities are going to change. I decided last week that I would blog about the transition, especially since I had such a perfectly named blog for this particular set of postings. I was all ready to start posting and then higher education in PA got devastating preliminary budget news and I got sidetracked. However, as much as I might like, I can't control what happens in Harrisburg, but I can control my reaction to it, so I decided to get back on my originally planned course. So over the next few weeks/months, I'm going to blog about this transition and share with you my plans, thoughts, and experiences.
