After a long but fulfilling 15 weeks spent in Cape Cod, Massachusetts learning how to do science and last in the field without bathroom access, I recount the final hectic week filled with symposium prep and sad goodbyes. I talk about the possibly more hectic weeks ahead, with winter quarter looming near, as well as the YouTube binge-watching that has taken me back to the 2010’s when life was a little simpler. Song recs include a mandatory Christmas song, as well as a hopeful and sweet melody for the future!
