Thanks to Hannah and Jon for the stunningly framed photos and Lily for starring (I'm sure you won't mind...)
Considering all the pictures, graduation looked like a perfect day and gathering of my friends' families or "still point[s] in a turning world" - what could be more fit for celebration? I suddenly feel excited about being part of a university with very old-fashioned, sentimental traditions.
Interning at MCYS has been a bit of a dream so far: faces from every phase of my early school life pop out of the woodwork unexpectedly, there's nothing insultingly menial about the work and nothing is spoonfed, it's a relaxed environment, I'm encouraged to ask stupid questions and there's the wonderful recognition that these are people who struggle with balancing the practical and altruistic on a regular basis. Right now I'm helping to give personal input on and plan trip itineraries to Hong Kong and New York to examine their climate for social enterprises and volunteer organizations. Which just about sums up everything I'm interested in. Okay, that's starry-eyed, early, job-love exaggeration.
And now that there's a large likelihood I'm going to do more travel in Asia in August, the summer is shaping up well, very well.
