*EMCLers + professors*As an end of the year celebration, our coordinators organized a barbeque for the EMCL students and professors. It was held lakeside, at a boat house, and we all brought delicious food from our home countries. One of the most special memories was a boat trip-- we all got in a canoe and rowed together while a rowing instructor beat the drum. We laughed so much, some sang, and we all savored the sun setting while out on the water together. It was a great night, but bittersweet, as many of us won't see each other again until our conference in Greece. We've all gone through so much together-- classes, moving from country to country, traveling, planning a thesis, going through red tape, etc. We've all been reflecting on how incredibly blessed we have been to study and travel together, and in such fantastic locations. It was a wonderful celebration, and we're all really looking forward to our time together in Thessaloniki in a few months!
