I know what you mean. I essentially retired last year at 47. It's been kinda weird. I love the freedom of not having to work but I do miss the structure and working with people. That was my weird way of socializing.
I'm in the process of figuring out how to finish my MA. The person I need to speak with is on sabbatical for the Spring semester. Seems logical to try and finish with the same university. Transferring takes a lot more time and energy of course. I'm also thinking about going on to work on a Ph.D. 🙂
Perhaps you should do some posts about the female philosophers. Could be interesting. 🙂
