Almost Done
Graduate school is truly a humbling experience. Yesterday I gave my last presentation for the semester which resulted in being critiqued in front of the entire class (8 other folks, plus Dr. Eaton).

I pushed it aside and went on with my life ( Read more... ) -

Reassuring
I just found out that the only individual with whom I was ever in a physical confrontation with (in 8th grade) is in jail. How do I feel? Sad... yet not surprised.
