Final Project and Farewell Dinner


I am so sad our final few days is upon us. We just presented our final project. We decided to study two specific canals in the city and propose a project to improve them. Our Professor was really impressed with our work. I especially liked going out and interviewing members of the community to ask their opinions on improving the canal. It offered insight on how the Dutch think and live, especially pertaining to the environment. After we did our presentation, we had our farewell dinner with the group, our group leader, and our Professor. We went to a Mexican Restaurant called La Cantina. It was delicious! We were there for a long time, sharing laughs and memories about the past few weeks. I’m really going to miss the people I met here. Two girls are coming with me for our second course in Spain, but I will miss the others so much! They have made this a truly amazing experience. We spent every waking moment together and we have all grown extremely close. They are the kind of friends I will keep in touch with for many more years and hopefully get a chance to see again in the future. I will never forget my experience in the Netherlands. I am very sad to be leaving such a beautiful country. I'm going to miss hearing the chime of bicycle bells and looking out and seeing a windmill slowly spinning in the distance. Even though I will miss this city, I am also very excited to travel to Spain for the second part of my study abroad experience.
