Please and thank you

Remember when I toured Stanford as a senior in high school? Well, you probably don't remember. But I do. I loved it. I wish I had at least APPLIED there. Just to see, you know.
Well, we visited Cambridge yesterday. Exact same feelings. Their teaching and learning philosophies are incredible. I couldn't help but imagine how different life would be had I gone to college there. It's not the life I want, but dang, I would be smart!
In a recent post, I made a quick mention of a huge fear of mine: not being smart enough. You probably thought I was kidding. I was not.

Punting at Cambridge. It's only the most perfect afternoon activity.

Don't I look a little Tom Sawyer-ish?
