What can I say, it’s been a great couple of years! From reading group to the Scottish Enlightenment class to rounds of chess, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and observing how you are engaging with life. You have a gift for being real and putting people at ease at the same time – perhaps Biggie helps too! I look forward to seeing where you end up, whether pursuing academia or entrepreneurship or something else.
