Hi everyone!
I'm hoping to have some time to do a post on last weekend's excursions in the near future, but I just wanted to quickly share an accomplishment from today.
We had our official Ricci Scholars presentations this evening, where we formally presented our projects as far as they have been completed this semester to our professors and research mentors. It was quite an intimidating situation for us all (especially me because I hate public speaking!!) but it went incredibly well and I just wanted to share that success.
It's easy to forget sometimes, among everything that's going on here in Rome, that this research program is the reason I'm here in the first place, so it feels really good to know that I am accomplishing what I ought to be, and to see the progress I have made on a project which was really just an idea not more than a few months ago.
I am so so thankful to be here and to have this amazing opportunity.
Also the huge dinners we have afterwards don't hurt either!
A dopo!
