Work: Done & Done

SO it is the last day of work and Phil and I just presented. It went great. But now, "I feel like I'm in a glass case of emotion!" For those of you who are not up to date on the recent goofy movies, that is a quote from one called Anchorman. Back to my emotions. I am so sad to be leaving this place and its people. I am basically in love with my host family and the people at work have done so much for me. I feel like I am leaving in such a rush that I am unable to show them any thanks. They have been giving and giving this whole time and now I just leave in a hurry, very ungrateful. Hopefully I will remain in contact with them via email.

We conducted our closing interviews and reviewed comments from our supervisors. They are very flattering and I feel really good about the whole internship.

Tomorrow we leave for Xian which makes me very excited (but not totally over shadowing the sadness). BUT, Xian is one of the most popular cities in China for site seeing bc it was actually the original capital before Beijing. I guess you could call it the Philadelphia of China! Plus, it will be really nice to be able to relax with no work to do.

So on top of all of this, the thought of being home is creeping up on me and I am so anxious to get back and see you all.

Oh, and we might be going out with our French friends after dinner with co-workers, whoo hoo!

One more thing, I posted a picture of me doing what I did most in China, eatin some food! This was yesterday, the day before our presentation and it was the only time during the entire internship we ate lunch in the office. We ordered in or as they call it, (take lunch box). "Will you take lunch box today?" Those are fish balls and rice noodles from our favorite Hong Kong style tea house. Just thought you would want to see me and all my beauty.
