In the years I've been in Charlotte, enjoying lunch a few times each week with friends was typical. Giving hugs to friends and family had happened every time we parted from a gathering. Because this was still the case during my last week in Charlotte, it didn't feel like I was leaving my home of four years. Everything that was usual for me in Charlotte was happening for the last time, in a while at least.
After a 15 hour drive from NC to MA, Boston greeted me with a drizzle of rain and the most concentrated group of welcoming people with impressive backgrounds I've ever met. I feel a little starstruck, hearing about the work that most of my peers have done before they came to NUSL. At the same time, it's very inclusive and my new friends have been interested in my background as well. The upper level students that I've interacted with have been giving me the inside scoop on my professors. It's going to be a great year.
