Deep thoughts...

Only 3 days (counting today) left at UNCITRAL. I'm incredibly sad. I've really enjoyed my time here. The people are wonderful, the experience has been incomparable - I must say this has been one of the best experiences I have ever had. I feel like I've learned so much and finally - after a long time of my brain being distracted by other useless junk - I'm soaking things up like a sponge. Sometimes that is a little scary because I wonder if I will ever learn everything I want to learn about, but I'm sure everything will come with time. I guess if I could have one wish for my future, it would be that I remain an avid learner and never stop questing for more. I've decided that's OK - I don't have to waste my life mired in mindless entertainment. I have decided that the quest to know more about the world and what makes it spin is just fine...it's part of who I am. And I like me that way. Thus...deep thoughts by Rebecca White.

Not to mention, I'm leaving with 2 very nice letters of recommendation - one from the Secretariat at UNCITRAL and one from the Judge. How nice is that for me?

I'm pretty excited - Sara and her brother get here on Sunday morning! It's always fun to have people come and see you when you're 1,000s of miles away from home. Plus, I get to introduce 2 more people to travel abroad. I'll be certain to take oodles of pictures and post them. It's sure to be fun. I'm going to drag them to SEVERAL Christmas markets and stuff them full of pünsch...mmmmm. Yummy. Ooh! And those yummy hot little donuts at the Rathaus. Even more yummy!
