I didn't even think I would be so comfortable in America; everything went perfectly. It was fun, I practiced my English, I didn't get sick, and I didn't gain weight) I earned good money, learned a ton of new information, and traveled. We often went to Boston together. Oh, and what a time that was) I fell in love with Boston so much. You know, it's a mix of a big, noisy city and a calm beach area. It's so beautiful and clean there! So peaceful and at the same time, it has an active pace of life.

*** I attended a Linkin Park and 30 Seconds to Mars concert in Mansfield. It was my dream; I grew up listening to their songs. And here you are, with a bunch of American fans, rocking out at a live concert, and you just can't believe it all***

That's how our summer went, in a work-party mode. But don't be afraid of the work. I didn't witness a single instance of negativity towards the staff. On the contrary, all the guests try to lift your spirits. They look at your name tag and say, "Oh, my name is Victoria too, how cool," or just gesture for you to smile, joke around, or ask how you're doing, etc. In general, they show attention, and that's nice. And our tips were good. Sometimes you didn't even need to cash your pay check.

Me and Felix from the Dominican Republic, who lived with us. I love him very much and we still talk to this day=) And that flag with his wishes is sitting on my windowsill in the dorm.

***Everyone chooses for themselves how they will spend their time. Everyone shapes their own summer. I met students who didn't like anything at all. I don't know why; either they didn't do anything to make their stay overseas happy, or they were just moody and pessimistic ***

Below in the photo are the four (the fifth left us after a month) main heroines of this story (the frogs) and our new friends=)
