But I should add that it was also one of the most stressful, confusing, and lonely times of my life too. I think studying abroad by yourself is mainly about self discovery and it’s not always flowers and puppies. Just my two cents! (I found a link to you on NG’s blog).

This article was interesting to me because my friends will frequently hear me say that studying abroad for a year was “The BEST time in my life.” I think what I mean is that it was the best so far. Coming back to the states after such an amazing cultural run can be very disappointing and major culture shock can set in. I hope to God that I have more “best” times and I like NG’s optimism.

Shark cage diving sounds amazing! Be particularly sure to remember the cage part though. If you forget the shark of the dive you’ll probably be OK, but forget the cage and I’m going to call dibs on your book collection.

Glitterati says it well. And I think you put in that bit about shark cage diving just for fun, you know, to tease your mom.
