On A New Year

It's certainly been a gap since my last post, but I have wonderful news! I applied to attend a conference in Japan, and I got the spot! It's a conference about the environment, so I'm very excited to attend and see what other people have to say.

I am a little bit conflicted, seeing as it is a very long plane ride using a lot of fuel to get me there for a week and then back again, but this is something I might bring up at the conference. Video conferencing might be a tool they could use in the future - it would cost a lot less and could involve more people. Though, there is certainly an allure to discovering a so-distant land and actually being able to explore another culture and place. I suppose it is one of those things to weigh pros and cons for.

I just watched "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss, and it was quite profound - I think I will use it for an upcoming design project!
