How I'm feeling...
...health-wise:
I've been better. While I don't think it would be accurate to say I've been sick for the last few days, I do think that I have been fighting something that just won't give up. Tired a lot, snuffy, sore throat...generally uncomfortable I guess. Also, I am supremely out of shape and I really want to work on that...when I get back. It's not my fault - whoever thought it was a good idea to put 5 bakeries between my house and my workplace is guilty. Oh, and the person who decided it was necessary to have a cake every time somebody leaves the Institute or has a birthday. Seriously, how can that be every day? And why is German cake SO GOOD?!
...about my work:
Frustrated. I'd rather not elaborate for the moment, other than saying that I really dislike hamsters. Well, their lung cells anyway.
...about my internship coming to an end:
Sad. Although I still have 8 days left at work, I'm finished with all my experiments now, so yesterday I cleaned out my section of the incubator in the cell culture lab, removed all my labels, and threw out what was left of my poor (STUPID) cells. It was somewhat depressing, and actually kind of distressing - it seemed like I was erasing myself! And when I do leave next week, I'm really going to miss everyone. They've been so good to me.
...about going home:
I'm not going to lie - this one has been changing rapidly over the last few days. My Canadian housemate leaves tomorrow. Nearly everyone on a CDS internship will be gone by the end of the week. And then there's me, who won't be home for another 19 days! I miss you all so much, so I can't help but feel jealous of everyone whose journey ends before mine. But...because yes, there is a "but"...I don't want to leave Germany! What I would really like to do is take a break - in Ireland, for example, where they speak English (living and working in another language is exhausting...) - and then come back! That would not solve the problem of me missing you all however, so I guess you'll just all have to come and visit me :)
...about my upcoming post-internship, pre-senior year university tour:
Super-excited!! I'm going back to 2 of my favourite cities in the world, I get to see Tamara, I get to explore a few campuses that could play a big role in my future, and I will be on vacation at last! I am anticipating a pretty fab mini-trip.
I really don't know what else to say right now. Good and bad are approaching hand in hand...
