Work got properly started. I got an office. My GIS computer arrived. And I sat there, hidden away in my little nook on the fourth floor, getting more and more confused. I made the realization that research is a disconcerting endeavor, at least in the beginning of a project, and that made me feel nonplussed. Some afternoons, I felt like I had no idea of what I was doing.
Lucky, then, that the autumn sun sets just outside my office window, giving the red brick and the yellowing maples and chestnut trees outside a delightful golden hue.
