jet-lagged but refreshed

i am still feeling the effects of traveling halfway around the world, but it was a VERY good experience. i got some much needed feedback regarding my current work and my future plans. the reassurance has definitely motivated me and given me more confidence that my work will make the impact that i envision. i made some good contacts and was able to stick a small flag in the ground relating to my phd work.

california was a nice vacation as well. great weather, nba final, and visiting with awesome friends!!! it was the recharge i needed for the heap of work i need to get done in these last few days (4) before i leave for the summer.
