A few days to go....

I am off to New Zealand in a few days.... I figured i better update one last time before I go. I leave on friday and I haven't really prepared. I have a few phone calls to make tomorrow to see a few people before I leave.

I was thinking today about how much I miss the atmosphere of school. I was thinking about all the books i want to read and how being a part of academia is really a supportive environment for thinking about the world.

I've had a few interesting conversations with my brother just about the academic world as he struggles to find the direction for his life.

I miss those kind of conversations already. For more than 2 years my roomates and I have debated all sorts of topics and it proved a fertile environment. Of course we never had statistics readily available, nor did we ever compromise our positions much, but the debates were fast and furious.
