I can’t believe how fast this semester went! The last few days of being at CIMBA were a little hectic between finals, packing, and saying goodbyes.

Ready or Not… Here We Go! 01/31/19
I can’t believe it! By this time next week, I’ll be in a different country, different time zone, eating different food (bring on the pasta and gelato!) with people I have never met before.
