That's All Folks!

Yup, this blogging experience is over. Now that I've been back in the land of milk and honey, I don't really feel the need to further populate the internet with my stories. I am so busy enjoying my friends and family and working hard, I have little time to blog... But that is ok... Sorry you won't get to hear about the Margaret River trip I promised a few posts back to write about.

Thanks for your attention these last months, gentle reader....

Over and out!

Last post from Australia

This is it, folks. My last post from Australian soil. No worries, I still plan on writing about all the cool things I did here in the last month, but from home in the good ol' US-of-A. And that will be well after I recover from jet lag from the 12 hour time difference and my 37 hour trip home. Yikes.

I came here after the PhD frazzled and unsure of my future in my supposed career. It was mainly a decision between academia or industry, and even at times to engineer or not to engineer. Being here has helped me to relax and learn to appreciate the finer things in life... as well as given me a good work ethic and honed my mental tools. I am leaving here with clear goals, new strengths, and a wide open mind for the future. I am leaving for an academic position in a really great department that I know I'll love, where I have so many ideas for the future there.

So, there you have it. Thank you Australia, my post-doc institution, and the people I have had the pleasure of knowing, working with, and my friends that I have grown to love. I am thoroughly grateful for this chance at renewal.
