This summer I&#8217;m here so that I can\u00a0graduate with a light semester this Fall in NY.<\/p>\n<p>Back to my impressions&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>First of, I would like to congratulate Meredith and Jeta for putting together such an incredible goal and doing a great job leading us. I have read all of the postings and have been getting\u00a0goosebumps reading through your experiences pre and during this trip. It might be the chilly weather too&#8230; <em>(just kidding)<\/em>. Some of the people left me curious about their nationality and I hope that I will meet everyone in person instead of using technology to do so. The idea of the journal is brilliant, though.<\/p>\n<p>The first two\u00a0sessions\u00a0so far have been both very informative and inspiring. They had me focused 100% of the time &#8211; the time that felt too fast, as it usually does in engaging classes. I\u00a0wish that we all will take everything we can from this beautiful opportunity given to us and I leave you with a picture of my hometown, Prizren.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-97\" src=\"http:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Prizren-Qyteti-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Prizren-Qyteti\" width=\"651\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Prizren-Qyteti-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Prizren-Qyteti-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Prizren-Qyteti.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/>(<em>The picture is from Google and the photographer is not credited).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, I added this class last friday after\u00a0I dropped a Management class that was beyond my capabilities: That&#8217;s the first time I don&#8217;t feel bad about my shortcomings&#8230; I am originally from Prizren, Kosovo &#8211; a city in the south, which I don&#8217;t believe anyone will end up not visiting.
