Final Semester

This is crazy… it’s not really my final semester; I’ve (hopefully) got a Ph.D. ahead of me.  However, I can’t help but feel a little bit of satisfaction (and sadness) as I get my texts in order for my last semester.  It should be a fun one, too – wedding planning, graduate schools, a thesis, a lecture, optics, and more.

I am contemplating a return to blogging as myself and Martha will be (likely) moving away from Wilmington and this will be a good way to keep in contact.  My one word for this year is along the lines of Engage or Priority, with both of them pointing towards choosing what tasks to spend effort on and then being sure to do those well.  This applies to this blog as well – if it survives as a priority, it will be updated.
