So we finally finished our building! I am amazed at myself; not only have I finally traveled to France but I have literally changed Aix (not alone of course). I was telling Paul (the one swinging the french hammer) that just a year ago I was sitting in the gym of my high school listening to the 600 some names being called by my principal, graduating from high school. While sitting there I imagined my life was about to change, but I never imagined celebrating a finished structure that I helped build in Aix en Provence, France in just two weeks. Unfortunately our time is at an end. We came, we saw, we constructed! I have met so many inspirational people here and made some great friends and memories. I cannot wait to return, because I am coming back you know, you cannot get rid of me so easily. I could never picture myself living in Monroe, NY or Buffalo, NY or perhaps anywhere that I have ever been... until I came to Aix. So goodbye for now, I am sure I will see all of my friends again, when we are all famous architects of course, and when I return I will be staying for good!
