015 — End of my journal writing—two years After Vienna
Fall–Sping 1973–74
Today’s post ends the brief 15 pages of my extended journal entries found at the end of my original Vienna journals. That two years of my life were summarized in two days of writing leaves out much detail, but offers me some reminders of what I was trying to accomplish as a young man, now aged 23–24. I hope you enjoyed reading.
I may continue writing. We’ll see.

Spring 1974
Today, I am pondering whether I will leave teaching to go for graduate work at Indiana University, Bloomington. I “ponder” the many issues that all young people ponder when they first begin their careers—do they stay in their current job, or do they try for something better?
