Boston was a lot of fun, I'm still chewing on everything from there. And now off to Minneapolis. I couldn't help but think that Ithaca is a nice place, as I sat in the taxi, riding to the airport. Until we got to the strip malls. I love the city of Ithaca, but the strip malls on the outskirts are awful--I'm glad they made them put them outside, where I almost never have to see them.

Very, very sleep deprived from finals and all this travel. I'm a little concerned about this. Hopefully I will just sleep, lots.

I found a really interesting blog on integral Buddhism. It discusses things like the psychology of long-term relationship, shadow selves and sub-personalities, why we clash with others--really practical and useful. So much to think about. Of course it talks about how we have in ourselves whatever we dislike most about others. Here is discusses these aspects as disowned subpersonalities and recommends embracing those subpersonalities, but growing them and expressing them in a mature, healthy way. There are ways to let them come out, instead of being ashamed of them.
