Phew! Summer 2015 is in full swing and is nearly in our rearview mirrors.

A quick update– I’ve been living in Amherst, Massachusetts (the birthplace of Emily Dickinson) working as a Resident Assistant at an international college prep program at UMASS Amherst.  Every day I work with students from Russia, Spain, Venezuela, France, Belgium, Morocco, Dubai, Hong Kong, Germany, Columbia, Senegal and many other interesting places.

Their stories have touched me like nothing else in my life so far.

Here’s to new summer friends… and enjoying myself a bit before I start graduate school in the fall.

Cheers~
