And honestly - no, I didn't. Being around stuff that potentially valuable, especially at a point in my life where I sincerely believed I was an incredibly stupid fuck-up, meant that I got very little out of the experience. Most of what I really enjoyed that summer was hanging out in BNL's Oceanography library, reading everything I could get my hands on, and using BNL's giant swimming pool. That's kind of coherent I guess.
