- Getting into the swing of things at my internship at WGNRR.
- Discovered an awesome boat where they serve amazing food with live music - only on Sundays.
- Received my thesis grade - 8.5 - which means that I will graduate with honors.
- Received notification from the International AIDS Conference that the proposal I wrote was accepted. Thus, WGNRR will give a poster presentation at the upcoming conference in August.
- Got to see Liz, who's in Amsterdam with her parents. Even got to go to Texel Island with them. Texel is home to sheep and beer. We even saw fields of "beer" growing on the island (one field had a sign that said it would make 400,000 glasses of Texel beer!).
On the way to Texel, we were viciously attacked by flocks of seagulls.
Some things are coming to an end: grad school (graduation is 29 August), my internship, student life...
But others are just beginning: new career, apartment, Dutch class, vacation in Spain
I'm in the middle of the sometimes exciting, sometimes draining process of looking for apartments, looking at apartments, looking for jobs, applying for jobs, interviewing for jobs... but I know that at the end of the summer, I'll have a nice house to live in and a job that will pay the rent. And, of course, all of the work that's gone into it (Amsterdam has one of the worst rental housing markets in the world) will make it sweeter in the end.
More on all of that as it develops, along with pictures from Lithuania! If anyone knows anyone with an apartment to rent to me in Amsterdam, don't hesitate to let me know!!!
