Thank you :-)

Now hopefully this won't distract me even more from successfully completing my ph.d. one day...

Welcome! I have a vague guess who you are, and if so I think we met at a Jung & Judisch conference in Germany a couple of years back. If it's any comfort I did manage to finish a PhD while using LiveJournal as a social lifeline. (These days my main home is a similar but newer site, but I still hang around here as I have lots of friends here still.)

...and if you'd used an icon that looks like you, aviva_m would have a vague idea who you are too. ;^b

I think that picture does look quite a lot like me, actually. But here is a photo if it helps more.

Hi , thanks for welcoming me, that's kind.
So far, I will mainly read - and maybe comment, and not blog myself. Maybe, if the ph.d. ever will be finished ;-)
Yes, we've met at "Jewish Journeys".It will again take place in Berlin in November this year, so if you are interested let me know :o)

I would really, really like to come back to Berlin in November, that conference was awesome and I fell in love with the city a bit. But the one downside of having an actual faculty position compared with being a lowly post-doc is that it's a lot harder to get time off work in the middle of term. I usually have a fairly heavy teaching load Fridays, so weekends away involving more than a couple of hours' travel are quite tricky for me. But thank you for asking.

This is all completely understandable. Anyway, you can still decide until at least the middle of October... All the best for you new position!
