what began as a fluke...

drc has been my home for just about three years. i was a little quiet sophomore when i started. i was afraid of everyone and everything. it's been a challenge, but drc has become my home. and today was my last day with the center.

i applied to the job on a fluke. i had some free time and it seemed like a good opportunity. little did i know what it would turn into! i've had the best experiences and met some of the greatest people there. from working on transcriptions to data entry/clean-up, to coordinating an international conference to working with undergraduate students to create and continue research projects, i've had so many things to do. and some of the grad students turned out to be some of nicest friends a girl could ask for. i can't remember how many times i got encouragement, advice, or grad student wisdom. they are some great people. i will miss them very much.

so, i guess it goes to show you: life might give you a fluke and it will turn out to be one of the best experiences of your life. you never know where the road will take you. you can just hope that works out for the best

DRC friends, please don't forget me! <3>
