I’m not worrying too much about it right now, as nothing is on sure ground yet. I’ll have to start worrying a bit more when I enroll in September, then in Oct./Nov., when I’ll have to decide whether to apply for funding…

These people in Paris seem interested in me, they’ve invited me to give a talk at their institution in the fall, I’m scared!

Anyhow, I’m trying to keep all posibilities open. I usually try to consider every option rationally, develop possible plans, browse the “space of possibilities”, then wait for one or two of the options to click by themselves without conscious intervention. It tends to work for me :-)

The down side is the feeling of uncertainty… but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

We all fret about what we should do or not, what the outcome is going to be… Try not to worry to much, but do give it a thought. Things usually come when a) you’re relaxed enough to listen to your feelings b) you are concentrated enough to be able to consider all possibilities rationaly. And then you have to look at both and weigh them agains each other. At least, that’s how it works for me!

Good luck!
