Acknowledgements

It feels a bit odd to structure my blog like this, especially considering that the original form was inspired by postcards. But I can't imagine starting this without giving my sincere thanks to the people who got me through this past year to where I am right now.

Thank you to those who helped me through the academic challenges of fourth year, which have simultaneously been the most fascinating and frustrating of my life so far.

Thank you to those who helped me in my job search, supporting or reviewing applications, and talking me through the throes of indecision - and to Steph, for being the one who started the whole crazy adventure in the first place.

Thanks to Jenn for putting up with my sporadic disappearing acts, and for running an awesome a capella group. Thanks to my family for patience and understanding. And thanks to the Eigenhouse girls for making home home, with everything that that encompasses.

I wouldn't be here without you.
