| | My last night in Albi...
Finally everything is done - research, report, presentation - except
for some more packing. I didn't realize how much I missed being a
student and working in a real lab. It definitely is a lot of fun.
Perhaps I missed out on some of that enjoyment in college because
Cooper life was... was more hectic at times. Indeed I felt more
inspired while writing my final report and preparing my presentation
here than I think I ever was at Cooper. I didn't feel any pressure to
make the grade because I wasn't being graded. Instead I was motivated
by the potential of my research and the quality of work of the other
stagiaires.
I would have liked to stay longer if things stayed the way they were
but they aren't: all the stagiares have either already left or will be
leaving shortly, mon maître de stage is going to work at U. Delaware of
all places and Albi - like many French cities - turns into a ghost town
in August. And I need to get my med school apps done ASAP. It's my time
to leave.
New York City. The United States of America...damn. Haven't been away
that long but still gonna experience some serious culture shock when I
get back. Who knows... I may decide to continue writing these blogs to
wean me off of living in France seeing as how I started writing them here. Scary. But I'll be home.
To all the Americans reading this: see you soon.
