I finished my internship last week.  It ended with UCCD's annual Tribute to Utah's Citizen Diplomats, recognizing ordinary citizens who have taken part in welcoming International Visitors to Utah.  It was a great event, and a great way to end my internship.  I really learned a lot this summer, and I think I will miss working there.  It was a great way to be involved and meet people that I otherwise would probably never have met.  Utah really is amazing in how open and welcoming it is.  People here are friendly and so willing to help and be involved, and that is something I have really grown to appreciate while living here.

This week has been nice.  I've been able to go to lunch with some friends, clean the house, and READ!  Something I haven't done much of lately until this summer.  I used to read one book after another, but its hard when I'm in school, after reading a textbook all I want to do is melt my mind with TV.  But, I am looking forward to school next week.  It's always fun to start a new class and see what the semester will be like.  I am going to be really busy, but I think it will be good.
