There are so many things still left to say, and I really don't know where to begin. I know it's cliché at the end of an experience like this to say that I don't know where the time went or can't believe it's ending, but it really is true in this case. Unbelievable. There are so many people I need to thank and so many more reflections I need to post as we finish up tomorrow with our last day, but there'll be time for me to think about that on a looooong trip home, and I'll be sure to include those things in my next entry.

For now, I just want to say how much I enjoyed my last few nights. Tuesday night was our last dinner with Dr. Petrick, and that was another nice time and enthralling discussion with some of her colleagues. Wednesday night was our last dinner with Eric, and we met up at the Hard Rock Café Bengalaru. That was definitely enjoyable. Then tonight (Thursday) was our last dinner with Sandesh and Tanu, the two people who have basically dedicated their lives the past ten weeks to making sure that the lives of the four interns were comfortable. There has been some work and some meetings sprinkled in as well, making this week the typical whirlwind I've come to expect. It's hard imagining that it's going to end so abruptly now, and that I'm going to just pack up shop and basically return to a completely separate world, but I plan on keeping in touch with my new friends here and what's going on here, and will be excited to have the opportunity to come back at some future time.

Thanks to everyone for all your support this summer. I will have a few more things to say for sure once I return to the US, and will be posting them on here next week. Our first flight leaves at approximately 4:35 PM EDT on Friday, and we will arrive after our connection at approximately 4:20 PM EDT on Saturday. I'll then take a train to CT to retrieve my car and visit briefly with family before heading back to PA on Sunday. Monday will be full of errands, and then back to State College on Tuesday! So now I find myself signing out of my blog for the final time in India...
