This has been one hectic week. Because I am leaving a day before the program officially ends, I took all of my exams and had all of my deadlines today. This included writing a paper for Business Chinese for Success and completing written tests for my other two classes. Cramming everything into these last four days has been pretty rough, but I'm glad to be done with it now!
I haven't really been doing anything too exciting recently, but my roommate and I went to Zoo Coffee to celebrate (sort of); thus, I leave you with one final food picture:

I'm in a bit of a rush to finish packing and get my room sorted out, so I won't be able to reflect too much right now, but this has been an extraordinary experience. Being in Beijing this summer has really helped me grow, not just as a student but as a citizen of society. I feel as if I can't adequately put in words how much this summer has changed me - from allowing me to get a better sense of mature "independent" (even though I had roommates) living to giving me the tools to improve my Chinese ability to opening my eyes to the various fascinating characteristics of Chinese society. To have this amazing opportunity to understand and appreciate Chinese culture is extraordinary, and I am so extremely grateful to the Light Fellowship for making this possible.
