twenty years ago this spring i was finishing up my senior year in high school and getting ready to go off to Cornell to study physics.
lately i've been reading books about Richard Feynman (my academic role model at the time) -- a biography called 'Genius' and another, 'The Character of Physical Law', a series of lectures he gave at Cornell back in the '60s.
'who am i?' i find myself asking, and 'what am i doing?'
this past summer i picked up an intro physics text -- the one i should have used, but didn't (because i thought i was smart enough to skip the first two years). i haven't started working through it yet; i just thought it was a good idea when i saw it.
maybe it's time to go back to Ithaca and start again in physics.
maybe it's not too late.
