   It’s my (errr…) 27th first day of school, and probably my last one ever! To be honest, I wish there still were many more ahead.

   I think if you had told 8-year-old me that one can get paid to go to school to study computers (and people), I would have never wanted to be a marine biologist nor a diplomat nor a translator. I would have wanted to be a grad student, and I am truly grateful I was able to be one for so long.
