Finished My Internship

So, internship is all done. I spent the last two days cleaning up the site and writing up how to do certain things so that when I left, the information would be available. I had a meeting with my two advisors at 16:00 yesterday and they hadn't asked me to write up that information. The purpose of the meeting, I guess, was to learn a few specific things. They were really impressed that I'd taken the initiative to do that on my own. And towards the end of the meeting, they basically said that if I ever wanted to move back to Brussels I could have a job there, probably as a Team Leader or something like that. It was awesome! I've been seriously considering moving here. I sent my boss an email telling him about the student evaluation he needed to do and at the end asked him to keep me in mind if there are every any opening that I might be qualified for. So who knows maybe I will end up moving to Brussels some day?

On another note: I think I've figured out how to handle the whole visa problem. I've already got plans to visit a friend in Berlin this weekend, so I'm doing that and then immediately leaving for London (the UK and Ireland are not part of the whole Schengen Zone). I'm going to explore those two islands for the next month and while I'm there I'm going to contact the Spanish consulate about getting an extension so I can walk the pilgrimage route in June. This way, I'll have 7 days left out of the 90, which should be just enough to get me in and out of Norway and possibly at the very least in to Spain. So, hopefully, everything will work out okay.

And on still another note: today I packed up all my extra clothes into boxes that I'm going to be sending home and did a test run pack of my backpack. All seems to be well and it isn't too heavy even with my laptop inside, so that's good!
