Post diss(ast)ertation

 Alas, my time in Cambridge has come to an end.  The past month has flown by… much like the past 9 months I have been here.  I’ve tried to write this post a couple times… and I don’t think there is any better way to describe the past few weeks, or conjure the appropriate sentiments other than through images.  The memories are vivid; the experience has been intense: the smiles, the laughter, the stress and the tears have been plentiful; the friendships made… hopefully long-lasting.  (Although after a discussion with a friend a few weeks back, I found that I'm the disillusioned sort when it comes to finding “pocket people” -the people that you take with you wherever you go.  We casually say “keep in touch” but (logistically) you know it simply cannot be reality -at least with the majority of those we meet… and so time tells who journeys with you to the end.)  For now, I just want to thank you for journeying with me in my time at Cambridge.  See you all soon.  I will try to post throughout my travels :)
