WG

I haven't done this in a while!

Some good things that I am glad for:

•  PASSING MY THESIS DEFENSE LAST WEEK!!! 

•  Having my mom and aunt visit made me realize just how frackin ready I am to get out of here. I was sad about it for awhile (see previous WG post), but now I am SO READY TO GO BACK TO THE MAINLAND!!!!!!!!!

•  Neti pot. I know the concept of them is gross or whatever, but it's also awesome. And I think we all do a lot of awesome things that could be considered gross, like, all the time. And not all of them clear out your sinuses and make you feel like you are breathing for the first time!

•  For lessons learned, and realizing it's okay to burn bridges that don't really lead anywhere, anyway - but also remembering :
