I must admit, one of my favourite moments of the whole trip was the Ice Hockey game, as I have ALWAYS wanted to see one live. The next would have to the final night where we all just went out to dinner and a movie and hung out. I suppose the Making Snowballs 101 and consequently the snowball fights that followed contributed to the brilliance of that night.
The academic stuff was all great and I really learnt a lot, but just sitting down and having conversations with the vast variety of people we came in contact with was phenomenal. Hearing people’s stories about their own lives, careers and suggestions on what we must do before we leave, really helped us feel welcome and a part of something. It also made me think about myself and what my situation was and where I wanted to take my life and career.
Thanks for everything, I had a great time and AIM and UNCC are awesome and if anyone asks my opinion about doing ANY international study, I shall be pointing strongly in your direction.
