Endings

I've thus far failed to write accounts of a wonderful trekking experience in Nepal and an unexpected opportunity to visit India for AUW Admissions, but this video really encapsulates what this year has been about:

From "You are my Sunshine" by the AUW Pearls

It will be so difficult to finally say goodbye to these special ladies, who have inspired and fulfilled me in a way that I will never forget. It has been an honor to teach (and learn immensely from) them this year. They surprised me yesterday during a party at my apartment by gathering to sing a modified version of "You Are My Sunshine" - little did they know the song comes from my home state!

I'm in final countdown mode now: 7 days until Commencement (finally! the pressure's been on!) and 8 days until my departure from Bangladesh. Then it's travel time - I'll be hopping around in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam for about six weeks before returning to the US for graduate school at Georgetown in the fall (and some summer fun with my sister and my cats!). I have no idea how to end this post, or how to leave AUW, so I'll just stop writing now.
