The semester is winding down and as expected things are moving faster than ever before. Besides the heavy projects and assignments in my history and UCHANU classes, I have to also juggle an increasingly more complex and involved personal life here in Hanoi. There are still so many things I want to do and see before the end of EAP. From getting new glasses made to taking a road trip to discover more of Vietnam, I have so much to do... and that's just in the net month. I could spend a lifetime in this country. There is so much history and beautiful nature to discover. The "developing" economy is so destructive and has implications for almost all aspects of Vietnam. I came here to study the economic and political aspects of Vietnam, but have learned so much more. I know I will come back to Vietnam after graduating from college. I don't know how long I will be here or what I will do, but for the short-term I have a solid plan to fulfill and concrete goals to accomplish.
