Bracketing is used in photography to create certainty-- overexposing and underexposing a shot by one stop to make sure that you get a good exposure, or rather more choices.

Intriguingly, my last few weeks at Carleton seems like a closing bracket. As I go through my days, I find myself reflecting on the beginnings at Carleton and observe that events (and my state of being) then is like a mirror replica of how I am now. (Of course, this replica is not exactly symmetrical).

But I fear that this closing bracket would make inaccessible the knowledge I captured at Carleton in the past 4 years.
