Well, my program in Sydney is officially over and I’m back home.  When I first signed up for this program I thought six weeks sounded like such a long time, but it really flew by. Everything is a blur looking back so I’m glad I kept a journal through the whole thing.  It will allow…

I only have one week left in Sydney.  It feels like just yesterday I arrived and now here I am, five weeks later, starting to think about what I have to do to finish up the program. It’s a bittersweet feeling because I miss my family and friends back home a lot, but I’m just…
