When an subject is controversial, one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the predjudices, the idiosyncracies of the speaker.

This shold be an interesting week. I need to find a senior project so I scheduled 2 interviews tommorow. the first one is with the Prof. I have worked with for 2 years . The second one is at Brigham and Women's hospital in Longwood. The B and W project involves improving surgical instruments and is a little more interesting, but I am not sure that this will work out. Anyway, I will find out tommorow.

After deep introspection, I can only say that I have lived a comparatively short and generally boring life. To get the obvious but necessary content out of the way, we can start by saying that I was born into an average American, middleclass family (2 kids, dog, house, ect.) and spent the next 18 years living with them in sunny, beautiful upstate New York. The area I lived in had very bad public schools, so I attended private Christian schools, where I learned the usual academic stuff (which I wish I could remember) along with a lot of catholic theology (which I wish I could forget). My father is an auto mechanic who taught me that there is no shame and working with your hands and that you should only do what you love. At 18, I decided on a whim to go to Boston University. There I learned that you solve problems with detailed analysis, logical execution, and hard work, or just tons of money and a lot of bureaucracy. So being broke and hating paperwork, I learned the skills that I hope will make me successful in the future
