endings & beginnings.

the preprint is out of my hands now;
i've passed it to my co-authors, who are trustworthy people.

this means, of course,
that i should start writing the next preprint.

[sighs]

i wish someone had told me, back in graduate school, that the writing never stops, and that the thesis is only the beginning.

heck, i wish i proved more theorems,
wrote more papers in graduate school.

it's not easy to learn and work on new things when you're (some kind of) faculty with the standard teaching load. it amazes me how others can do it so well.
