Going Back

This weekend, I'm looking forward to going back where I spent the first 2 years of my journey here in the US. I still have fond memories of Buffalo, and my closest friends there are still there studying for their Ph.D. In many ways, I miss being a student. Grad school was the most "fun" time I had in terms of learning and really getting into topics I loved to study. The same can't be said of most of high school and at least half of the classes I took in college. But it's the people who make the experience wonderful. Without them, there would really be no reason to visit an out-of-the-way upstate NY city that has seen better days.
