This is the end, beautiful friend. This is the end, my only friend, the end.

The last paper has been submitted and the packing has begun in earnest. SATA 2006 is coming to an end. I'll be back in New York on Sunday afternoon.

I'd like to thank everyone who stuck with reading the blog over the course of the semester. I read and appreciated every one of your comments, and got some serious good vibes from those of you who didn't comment. I tried to keep the blog interesting for everyone, and I hope you enjoyed my stories.

If you're thinking of coming to India, I can't recommend it enough. You'll see and experience some incredible stuff for really cheap prices. I learned a lot from both my professors and the world around me, and it's up to you to see if that was reflected in the blog posts.

So once again, thanks to everyone. Now back to figuring out how the laws of physics will allow me to pack this suitcase properly...
