Today is the one year anniversary of when I moved into my apartment. I also got back today from Madison, so in some ways it's like I moved in all over again. I enjoyed Madison thoroughly. In some ways, Madison felt like an airport: I was safe and relatively anonymous, and it provided a lot of opportunities for new directions. As I look forward to this new academic year, I feel a lot calmer than I ever have.
I'll miss Madison, but I'm confident that, just like an airport, I'll pass through again.
