At first, it really did feel like the end of the world. My semester abroad in London was disrupted by COVID-19 and ended abruptly, I have been back home since March feeling somewhat lost in life, and now this. As much as I hate to complain, four more months of uncertainty and change of plans really distressed me. However, I am happy to say that I am very content with the way this semester has turned out, and here are some of the best moments I\u2019d like to share with you all &#x1f642;<\/p>\n<p><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1739\" data-imgid=\"1740\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1740\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"261\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-1-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/><\/a><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1739\" data-imgid=\"1741\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1741\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1739\" data-imgid=\"1742\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1742\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-3-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-3-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/a><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1739\" data-imgid=\"1743\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1743\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-4-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/a><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1739\" data-imgid=\"1744\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1744\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-5-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-5-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1739\" data-imgid=\"1745\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1745\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-6-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-6-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-6-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/a><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1739\" data-imgid=\"1746\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1746\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-7-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/international-services\/files\/2020\/11\/alex-pic-7-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This August, I made a difficult decision to stay home and not go back to Vassar.
