I’ve had surprisingly little to say these past few days.

I don’t know — I’ve been stuck in a sort of limbo.

There’s a lot I’m worried about. Most of all, I just don’t feel ready to start my doctoral research. There’s so many topics in math I’m supposed to be better acquainted with. And this summer (like all summers) was supposed to be an opportunity for me to bang out these dents.

It started out well. June and July were right on schedule. But now with August winding down, I’ve realized I haven’t really been on the ball this month. As I’ll be starting in September, there’s little chance for me to pick it up now. In the next few weeks, I’ll have to find a way to get my head back into the game.

But these next two weeks are sure not to disappoint.

Funny how I’ve had quite a few friends call me these past few days, asking to see if I’d care to have lunch or a drink before I hit the road.

I had no idea I owed so many people money.

I’m also not quite ready to let go of Ottawa.

After living here my whole life, there’s so many memories I have attached to this small city.

Anyways, I’m not ready to go all weepy-eyed on you guys. Not yet, anyways
