why I like tumblr…. so I’m back. Been a whirlwind trying to plan a trip for a bunch of my students to Turkey. Blazing trails ain’t easy, but I’m glad it’s getting done. I wish more students, especially minority students, could take advantage of study abroad - it really widens perspective.

This tells me I should never have a reason to frown, if he can still manage to smile.

just saw the film on Sundance - kinda reminded me of myself at 19 — just really in love with LOVE for the Creator, a little crazy - teetering between isolation and being with the world.

a bit of success… Finally was able to get a neuroscience professor to comment on the proposal. She thinks doing a behavioral study first is a good idea and narrowing it down a bit… so I’m on my way - persistence isn’t a bad thing, folks.
