And so it has come to this. My final few days in Ann Arbor. I have been going for random walks the past two weeks, snapping pictures around the North and Central campuses. Has it already been a year? Well, almost. And what an eventful year this has been. Sure, not every experience was a good one, but life isn't a bed of roses, is it? It has its ups and downs, and being here for an extended period means I've had my fair share of each kind. Thankfully, I could say that there have been more ups than downs here.
There are so many people I want to thank for all my experiences here. To everyone that I've met here who has guided me and helped me out in one way or another in shaping this unique American adventure, you are very much appreciated, and please, let's keep in touch. I also want to say a huge thank you for all the SUPPORT from everyone back home, family, friends, colleagues, and erm, the taxpayer?! I couldn't have done it without your faith and confidence. I'm proud that you are proud of me.
This is such a cliché, but I will definitely miss this place. If anything, I've experienced independence like no other time of my life. And I truly, truly enjoy it. But it's also time to return home, to leave this phase of my career, of my life and enter a new one. Exciting times ahead, I should think.
Beautiful sunsets... something I will remember very very fondly.
Well, it leaves me then to say, Thank you Ann Arbor, Thank you Michigan (Go Blue!), Thank you America. Goodbye, and till we meet again!
