Hi everyone,

I assume like most seniors my last few weeks have been completely insane in a good way. I just finished moving out of the dorms on Sunday and spent yesterday morning with family. One of my "errands" yesterday was officially accepting a job!

I will be working in a city in China near Shanghai, along the bullet train route between Shanghai and Nanjing. My job will be working as a college counseling intern with DiPont Education, providing support to the college counselors and helping Chinese students who want to attend college in the United States. It's a GREAT opportunity, and I'm very excited, but I also have to say goodbye to all the family and friends who I won't be able to see for at least a year, so in some ways it's bittersweet.

I suppose this will be my last post; I have a lot of work to do in the next couple of months before I start. My four years at Oxy have come to an end in a great way, and I'm off to my own adventures!
