Free at last

I enjoyed meeting Miss M. for coffee/tea before her departure from Starkville for holidays. I found out that my young mentee has miraculously scored a summer research job in her home town, with a professor of molecular neuroscience (studying neurons specifically, and how they connect, and why certain connections are formed while others are lost). It was one of these crazy coincidences, someone shared her CV with somebody else, and it reached the right hands. I am so proud, and happy for her! After that - grad school. She applied to a number of very diverse programs, so it will be interesting to watch where she ends up.

I am slowly unwinding after the insanity of my semester. It is taking longer now then it did last time I was in school.
