The Final Post of the Year

It has been quite a year.  It is interesting for me to look back through my webdiary and see all the things that I have done and been involved with in this World Year of Physics.  I feel as though this New Year's Eve really is the closing of a chapter in my life and the start of a whole new life for me, since I am coming to the close of my years as a graduate student in the next few months and am looking for a job.  With all of the funding cuts in my field, it will be much harder for me to find a job, but I am sure that I will find a good one in the coming months and meet any new challenges as they come in this new year.

Being involved in the Quantum Diaries has been a great experience, an experience that gave me the opportunity to look at myself as well as to communicate the exciting things that I do in my strange quark research and in my everyday life at Jefferson Lab and the College of William and Mary.  I have enjoyed it so much that I am planning on continuing my blog in another location, which is yet to be decided.  A search on my name will turn up whatever new chaos I am creating, I am sure.

So, thank you for reading my rambling posts about the state of my life as a physicist in this World Year of Physics.  May the new year be filled with happiness for you all.

Best Wishes,

Sarah K. Phillips
