ananziI met with a friend last Sunday who was passing through Athens (L., the fencing coach extraordinaire), and it was great in a lot of ways. We connect incredibly well on some level, and so conversation was easy and fun. It didn't (and usually doesn't) feel like much effort. We talked some about what the rest of his summer looks like, and the doings of mutual friends, and my future, and etc.
When the topic of my plans for the future came up, he encouraged me to look at really neat research and really good graduate programs in imaging and medical physics. It was really heartening (after I've been sucking at finding and applying for jobs) to hear someone say that I was good, really good, and capable.
He also said he'd ask his friends in relevant industries if they knew of any job openings. I have to remember not to rely too heavily on that, though. I wish that there were more entry-level physics jobs, or that the ones that were there weren't things like lab technician. Maybe I'm bad at finding the jobs?
