Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

June: another super normal month, actually with 0 travel.

Unusually, I didn’t leave town all month! Furthest I got was the Kapiti Coast.

Pretty much no teaching. Working on papers, and a weekend trip to Christchurch.

April: no more classes, but still a bunch of teaching admin

Not quite done with teaching in April; that would be May. Two papers in progress and a trip to Montreal.
