I have officially survived an entire semester in a second language! Exams finished up last week. In other news, this week I started an internship in one of my host university's research labs, where I'm the only undergrad, the only foreign kid, and the only woman. What fun!! It's been stressful but I'm learning quickly. I've been planning my return to the US, and I'm all registered for fall classes back home!

It's kind of a bittersweet thing, but I am excited! I've learned so much here. I think the best advice I received before moving away, though, was to not compare "here vs home." In that way, I've managed to avoid missing stuff. But it'll be nice to see my dog and move back to a rural place.
