Yaoli: Quick Introductions

The miracle of jet transportation never ceases to amaze me... to think that less than 12 hours ago I was still back at Duke, stashing away my books, doing my last load of laundry and saying my goodbyes to friends. It also amazes me to think that the next time I pack my life into cardboard boxes, I would be hauling away four wonderful undergraduate years, a major/minor/certificate degree, six lifelong friendships, more than 2000 pictures on Facebook and even more incredible memories.

I'm so excited to be blogging this summer about my fieldwork experience. Not only will I be traveling to an amazingly beautiful country, I will be working alongside with one of my best friends pursuing issues I feel passionate about.
