I loved Duke and I always will. I have always spoken fondly of it and I will never hesitate to tell anyone how wonderful my four years were, and how eternally grateful I am for every opportunity I received from (or because of) Duke, still receiving, and will receive in the future. BUT…

I don’t miss it. I miss how ridiculously spoiled I was by e-print and the Link, the gym, and the Duke Gardens, but no I don’t really miss being there. Maybe some day I will, but I don’t think that day will come any time soon. That’s why I’m not going back, and won’t be for a while.

Are these two reconcilable? Or are they simply contradictory and don’t make much sense like some (or lots) of the U.S. Supreme Court opinions I have been reading?
