So these are some photos from my last days in Duluth. Some from our boat cruise, and others from the plane ride back home.

They are pretty and therefore fun to share, but it also reflects my mood. I am somewhat melancholy and thoughtful. No reason for this mood, it's just where I'm at right now. A friend of mine just lost his baby sister in a car accident and although I never met her, I think my mood has been really affected by this... it's so profoundly unfair... yeah come to think of it, that's probably why I'm a little sad at the moment. I hate pain and sadness and I hate being reminded of how crazy life can be -- in the negative way.

I reflected on the conference on my "other" blog :) and am already missing the buzzing atmosphere of conference workshops. It's hard to come home and do laundry and get back to the old routine.

The old routine is about to be revamped anyway. With August around the corner, I imagine I'll be in class before I know it (sigh, I wish I could get excited about that right now).

Ugh clearly I need to go to bed.
