..already been almost two months?
As I look back on this trip, it feels like I just stepped off the plane and arrived here. It was on my walk to work this morning that I started to feel melancholy, and realized that I'm not going to be able to do every little thing before I go. I feel home sick for my family and friends, but I know I would've been happy if I stayed here longer. I feel like I've had a taste of this new place and I'm hungry for more. (Cheesy, but true). I can try to express everything I've learned about myself and the world around me this summer, but it probably won't come out right. It's more of a feeling and sense of self rather than something I could verbally express.
What I will say, however, is that I've completely lucked out with a fabulous internship and I couldn't have asked for nicer and more helpful colleagues. I will really miss all my co-workers who made me laugh every day! I feel much more confident in my skills that don't relate to singing or theatre. :)
I know this trip would've been completely different had I not been working 40+ hours per week, and I didn't have as much time as I wanted to explore. But it was such an amazing experience to be able to immerse myself so fully in such a new place. I wouldn't have traded this experience for the world. Thanks parents for supporting me and enabling me to go! :)
For now, I will try to get back to my last day of work and try not to miss the California sun so much!. :)

As someone who just visited Scotland, I have to say that a) I am jealous of how long you go to stay b) I am jealous that you got to experience "real life" and working there and c) if you want to ever move back and need a roommate, I am volunteering!! California sun be damned!
Enjoy your last weekend in Edinburgh!
