Old stomping grounds.

happychemistI'm hiding in the humanities library at MIT, in front of a large window that looks over the Charles River. I feel like a freshman and it's 1999/2000 all over again.
It's snowy outside, and I'm trying to keep my joy to myself, but I'm pretty sure that I'm radiating it. I've already gotten some strange looks from the staff. And though I'm stressed and I know I have a lot of work to do, I can't stop looking out the window!
I'm signed on line as my good friend Margaret D, as she's maintained a staff status on campus and my account has lapsed. I'm also VPNed into Caltech so that I can access some of the things I left behind. Never in a million years did I think that this would be my life, and I'm...overjoyed.
If I could have told Freshman Crystal she would be sitting here 8 years later...
Dr. J is very good to me, and I am beside myself with happiness at seeing him again. He's working away in the lab now, though, so that I can focus on ribonucleotide reductase.
I wish I brought my camera cord! I've already gone a bit batty with the picture taking.
