I have to say thank you to all those who have helped me get to this point.
Firstly, to Debra, for suggesting IES. When I admitted that I might not spend my entire junior year abroad in France, Amberle suggested I speak to you about IES ‘cause you had a great experience. Even though I sometimes regret choosing IES, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Next, Amberle. Thanks for telling me that my Chinese doesn’t suck massively…even when it did. Mostly, thanks for the encouragement while here. You can tell all the embarrassing stories you want at my wedding.
To the MHC’ers, esp. Caty, Sarah and Julie. I cannot Baaahhh enough. Your encouragement and gossip have kept me going! And don’t worry Caty, you will always be my number 1 roomie!
To Zach, my favorite “pseudo cousin” ever, and most frequent comment-leaver. I’ll see you soon enough…just lock up
To
Most importantly, to my parents, thank you for accepting my decision to come here. Throughout the times that I’ve wanted to give up Chinese (or anything else for that matter), you both have been there reassuring me that I’m doing a fine job, and then giving me the extra kick in the pants that I need. I love you both so much (...though would love you even more if you bought me a puppy...)and am happy to becoming home to you.
And to everyone else, just because I don’t mention you doesn’t mean I don’t think of you every day. Thanks for reading, writing, and supporting me throughout this journey. I can’t wait to see you, and tell you all of the stories that didn’t make the cut in person.
I am undecided if I will update this blog again. It’s been fun, but I’m not sure where my life will lead me. No matter where it does, I’ll be sure to keep in touch.
Thank you all so much. I will definitely miss this.
Affectionately,
michelle

Best Roomy Ever!
Bye Michelle,
Even though I'm pretty sure you will be a lot closer than you are now, if you get what I mean.

Hi Michelle,
You have got to continue blogging, it was so much fun to hear about your adventures in China! I hope you have a wonderful time in the US with your family and I hope to see you in France! (Josh and I get there early May)
Love,
Claire
I can't wait for the wedding! I should start working on my toast now :) Chasing Obama all over Paris will be included in between, the "this one time in China" stories. We have had some amazing adventures together Michelle. I'm always ready for the next one. And just remember, if we can't decided where to go - think of where the food is good. At least if the place sucks, we'll get a delicious dinner at the end of the day :)
To all the Mondays we had of rotating through Sushi, Chinese, Thai and India - Skål (as we say in Danish)
