What Had Happened Was....

So fast forward about about 3 months. A lot has happened since then and I did a horrible job blogging about it. My bad.

It also freaked me out a little when my boss' boss said, "Elizabeth, I read your blog!" when I first met him. John Burkoff, if you're reading this, thank you again. :)

So a recap of one of the most amazing experience of my life...

I survived faculty and staff training, picked up 739 college students in Canada for the ride of their life, survived the trek across the Atlantic Ocean, was in Madrid during the season when Spain won World Cup, had a dance party or two in the faculty/staff lounge, rode in a gondola in Venice, worked with an amazing graduate student, saw a rooftop view of the Old City of Dubrovnik, served with an amazing LLC team, saw the after effects of war torn Bosnia, won second place in the Sea Olympics (small but mighty! Go Blackout!!), got closer to heaven in Meteora, learned the Thriller dance, visited the ancient city of Troy and crossed into the Asian side of Turkey, had an awesome roommate, saw the Pyramids of Giza, made some lifelong friends, camped in the Sahara Desert, met some amazing people, and gained a new perspective on life, love, education, other people, the world, and myself. All it all it was pretty amazing.

So in an effort to recap the last 3 months (3 of the most amazing months of my life might I add), please enjoy a photo montage from each of the countries that I visited this summer. Enjoy.
