Home

This is a little late, but...I made it home safely! I arrived in Milwaukee on Dec. 23rd after a 2 day layover in London, and since then I have been busy hanging with the fam and catching up with friends. It has been great to be back, and the transition home has been remarkably smooth so far, but there hasn't been a day yet that I don't think about life in India and miss it.

Some of you may be asking, "Nicholas, what will you be doing with your life now?" In fact, many of you have already asked me that question. It's a great question, really, but one that I don't have a great answer to right now. The short answer is...I don't know. The medium-length answer is...I will be looking for a job in civil engineering primarily in the Madison & Milwaukee areas. (I'm not sure what the long answer is.)

As for the future of this blog, I've really enjoyed blogging my way through India, but I don't plan to continue posting updates now that I'm home. Thanks to all you faithful readers and commenters who have been following along since day one. That occasional comment is a nice reminder that someone is reading. :)

One final thing to check out is a slideshow by my friend Nate summing up his internship in India. I was on a different project trip than him, but most of his slideshow pertains to my own India experience as well.

Finally, as my good Indian friend Bhagat once said, thank you "from the heart of my bottom" to all of you who have supported me and prayed for me throughout the past year. I am incredibly grateful to have had this life-altering, worldview-shaping year in India, and it literally would not have been possible without your support. I have so much joy when I think about your generosity towards me and - more importantly - your support for God's work in India.

Hope to see you all soon!
