Final Remarks

This is likely to be a short entry as I am feeling short on words today and not looking forward to final remarking. 
With about 1 week left, i can't believe my time is almost over.


[extended moment of reflection here]


I have met amazing people in my time here, people i work with, people i live with and people i have met through random circumstances. I have learned a lot about myself and about other people. I have learned that adaptability is key to living with so many people. Also, in living with so many people, the real colors come out pretty quickly and it's easy to really know each other. 


I have tried new things and experienced many cultures. The world looks a little different from here. Sometimes it feels like i'm stuck in a time warp when it comes to how much prejudice there is. It's like living in the 60s, there is so much idealism to work through and prejudice from an older generation that still filtrates through to younger people. Strange to be here and experience it all. I think I have learned a lot, but also realize that I have much to learn still. 


The next week I have plans to rock climb, mountain hike, surf, lay out on the beach and just enjoy my friends and my environment. I'm going to be missing all of that for a long time i think. 


I'll update again when i'm back in the states.. until then, cheers!
