Leaving on a jetplane...

"Make sure to prepare yourself for big days."

-Jonathan Hodge

I received this advice during Calculus II last Spring, and thought nothing of it - now it seems particularly relevant. When planning something big; when the day actually gets there, all that remains is to simply enjoy all of the hard work and planning. I'm not saying that being 6'6" and cramped on a plane is an enjoyable experience, but I'm excited all the same.

My mother and I (she's spending a week with me in the U.K.) will be flying directly from O'Hare to London at 4:10 (Central Time), and will be arriving at 6:25 a.m. (London time) . We're starting the trip off by spending 5 days in London, 1 day in Oxford, 1 in York, and are making our way up to Aberdeen on Tuesday.

It's going to be a wonderful time.

  1. John, I'm reading a good book right now by the guy who is, or a least was in 1996, a professor emeritus of systematic theology at Aberdeen. His name is James B. Torrance. If you meet him, I would be a little jealous, but he's super smart so you should go to a lecture or something if he's still there.
