Fresh interruptions (day 133)

I popped in to work today for the first time since the break.  I loved it.  There are so many smart, beautiful, interesting people there.   I felt refreshed hearing about new developments from my students, a simulation and modeling project for emergency rooms, and general lab plans for the new year.   It was a constant stream of interruptions and I welcomed each one as a pleasant surprise.  I am grateful to work in a place that is constantly reinventing itself.  There's always a sense of unbalance: just when you where starting to get comfortable, something changes.  There are definitely some less desirable aspects to that state but overall it's kept me feeling alert and interested.

It's hard to remember now how tired I was at the end of term...and hard to believe how tired I'll be at the end of this term.  For now, I relish the freshness in the air.

A song for this post.
