Needless to say, I had the time of my life in Brazil this winter. I hope each of you enjoyed following along as I posted my thoughts, activities, and a few pictures about my journey through Central America. I was so very fortunate to travel to wonderful places, learn so much about the agribusiness and production agriculture climate in Brazil, and meet so many amazing people throughout the 6 weeks. ** To the right is a picture of my host family and I on one of my last nights in Piracicaba!
So.. you are probably wondering... Whats next for me?
Well, that is a good question-- and if I knew for certain, I would share my plan with all of you. BUT- with many opportunities still out to jury, I will just update you on what I have been doing in the 4 weeks since my return to the states.
I have been able to spend quite a bit of time at home in Bowling Green. From family game nights, attending Cate's first 4-H meeting with her and a few basketball games, catching up with family and friends, and getting some quality rest and relaxation, I have stayed quite busy.
In addition to time at home, I have also spent some time in Columbus catching up at club meetings and such. Two weeks ago I spent 2 days in Minneapolis interviewing for a job with Syngenta Seeds, and I spent last week in Washington D.C. with my Alpha Zeta Partners group studying organizational change by meeting with several agriculturally-related organizations.
Now, I find myself back at home for just 5 more days before school starts back up again for Spring quarter! I am very excited for my spring quarter classes and schedule (Yes, I am a dork) and for the spring excitement on campus in Columbus.
When spring quarter wraps up in June, I will be staying in Columbus for the summer to complete an internship with Farm Credit Services of Mid-America and will be taking my FINAL 2 Classes at Ohio State before graduating in August!
