Dear Madeline (or whoever else is reading),
I can’t believe this fellowship is already over. You’ve come a long way since 10 weeks ago, and done a lot of work.
Looking back on the first letter, I can’t help but laugh a little at your excitement to start the second part of your project – the part with the BCAAs – since it’s still on hold, for a variety of reasons. As many people have pointed out, I really had the true research experience.
I never learned to skateboard, but I did manage to get a little bit more in shape, at least toward the end of the summer.
One thing I did “succeed” at was making some amazing new friends within the fellowship!! I’m so happy that I met all of these people, and I really hope we all stay in touch. Love you guys, and thanks for an amazing summer! <3
Madeline
