Today I returned to RIT. It has not been easy (I now smell of everyone else's perfumes, because of all the hugging) (PS I don't wear perfume) but like my mom says, it gets harder the longer you wait. Besides, working helps take my mind off things. So I'm actually quite grateful for the small accumulation of things to do that built up while I was gone.
As I get back into the swing of things, my focus is on tying up all the loose ends on the things I did remotely while I was away (as mentioned a couple posts ago). I have spent today getting everything back up to date (seminars, website stuff, the screen downstairs, job postings) and checking in with the people and events I have had to miss (several prospective students, San Francisco alumni, inquiries into the intern program).
With regards to the San Francisco alumni event, it sounds as if the reception was a success! Fifteen alumni and one current graduate student attended, and several also brought along guests, which makes for a very nicely sized event. A true measure of the night's success is the fact that most everyone stayed for the full two hours, which is fantastic! I have since received some nice notes from alumni that said they missed me being there this year, so I made sure to reply and let them know that I was equally sorry to have missed out. I had a really great time when I was out there two years ago, so hopefully we will have another event that I can go to!
Also while I was out of the office, the science department at Palmyra Macedon sent me the group faculty picture I took of them with the FLIR when I was there. Enjoy...
