Long Time, No Blog: End of the Summer Round Up!
Aug. 6, 2012—Well, it isn’t the end yet. Summer 2012 has been my most productive (that is, I haven’t sat around on my couch quite as much according to my mother). Without boring you with the details, I’d like to quickly glance back at my summer and look ahead to the coming semester!
