Last fall I started a graduate program at Brown University in Providence, RI.  The name of my program is MEME (multimedia and electronic music experiments) and it has one of the worst websites I have ever had to experience in my life.  It is a five year Ph.D program, so it’s looking like I’m going to be held up in this frozen little corner of the country for quite some time.

Instead of complain about the many obvious reasons why Providence is inferior to NYC (my home for the last 4 years) I would like to point out some of its advantages… but I can’t.  Strangely, I am enjoying it and I’m glad to have made the decision to go back to school.  It’s challenging and I’m finally experimenting again.  I’m enjoying work rather then dreading it.  Finally, eight years late, I understand that my favorite thing to do is experiment and that school is the easiest place to do just that.
