Staying in Ithaca
I have been criticized a lot for staying in Ithaca, and have received very little support for staying — except from people whose opinion I value very highly. My current plan is to stay around, buy a little house, and have a day job doing some interesting programming while I figure out what to do. I am considering becoming an english professor or a high school english teacher, and a few other things. I want to embark on meaningful work. That said, I am still programming like a maniac and would make a good employee in the interim.
