looking back, looking forward

Not sure what it is about life lately, but I feel like I've been doing a fair bit of reflecting.

Maybe it's the handing out grad photos, or coming across old photos and info from my first degree, or even just thinking about next year - and how I'll transition to a new job while starting grad school, while still keeping some lighter fun stuff on my radar.

Basically: I think I can safely say that I enjoyed being a student, and on some weird level, I'll miss it.

Looking forward, I'll still be a student in some capacity, and I must admit, I'm getting more and more excited about starting my Master's.

Looking back, I've enjoyed my time taking French classes.

While I wasn't able to continue with French training this summer as I'd initially planned, I'm excited to get back to it in the fall.

And - perhaps the most exciting development to happen lately - I've enjoyed my time as an intern for this organization I've been working with. And finally, after wanting to discuss the prospect when in Boston (you know, pre-Covid), I've been able to connect with my boss and discuss ways to stay firmly in the girls' education sphere.

So this summer has been one marked my change, no doubt. There's a lot that I've done that I'm fortunate to have experience, and a lot more great things still to come.

But in the meantime, it's time to relax and enjoy before the next week of camp.
