and i'm out for the summer

if only i could express my happiness to be leaving this country and going back home for 4 months. things have been crazy the last week or so, but i hope to have more to write about as i get back home and settled and relax for a few days.

first stop, chik-fil-a at terminal a in hartsfield-jackson international airport
.

and it's almost time to go

the update with my research is that i did not get my second publication out, but i have come upon some really awesome ideas that i have in motion to get a head start for next year. i really am excited and graduation now seems like a very possible and likely occurrence here in the near future. i am officially in "prepare to go back to the states" mode, but i am still trying to concentrate as much as possible to tie up any and all loose ends before i get outta here.
