So, we're done with our mid-point "final" presentations, the US fellows have graduated, and the day after, life seems much the same, save for the near-palpable absence of Deliverables, lectures and meetings. Oh wait, scratch that last, we've got at least four more before we fly home...
We came, avoided the man eating plants, did it "real" (precisely!) and learnt a ton (and won an award to boot! how unlikely is that!) and now we have to go back and do it Even More Real. (Pearl ate all the mushrooms)
And as Dan put it - there was no one single unifying thing that we all took away. This program has left an ill-defined, but extremely indelible, and personally unique imprint on each one of us, and we've all come out of it a little older, wiser, and better prepared for the future.
All the best to our colleagues from the Red, White and Blue teams. They're stepping out into the great unknown (which looks suspiciously like the inside of the Clark center...) to do great things.
Us SSB guys, we fly back to the familiar confines of our "system" and see if the box can indeed be thought out of, or perhaps jimmied or sprung.
Ken - and a bunch of people - said yesterday that they expect great things for us... we're not sure if we expect them, but we sure are anticipating... :)
Stay tuned for next episode, when our heroes do battle with a gigantic eight foor tall beanbag!
