Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I was working full steam on my thesis, which I finished today (HOORAY!!).

I left New Zealand on June 15th, 6 weeks ago today. Which means that I am halfway through my time in the states. Some days I think “Halfway already? I’m going to miss everyone so much when I leave”. But for the past few days it’s been more like “Only half way?”. It’s actually quite unfair that my brain can be homesick for two different places depending on which one I’m actually i at the moment. A piece of advice for all you travelers out there: Don’t get engaged and then leave for three months. It’s no good. Here’s what’s waiting for me across the Pacific. Makes me want to run out and buy a plane ticket.
