Hello from the Netherlands! I have been here for 2 weeks, and this has been the most incredible experience. I have loved exploring Nijmegen, traveling throughout the country, and living independently. I'm in awe most of the time, thankful for everyone who got me here and hoping to make everyone proud. This trip has allowed me to grow in confidence and self-understanding, and I'm learning more everyday.

Besides all the introspection, I'm very excited about the progress of the project! I have been meeting with many great researchers to discuss the games and get opinions, and I have been given plenty of excellent suggestions and notes. These notes will all be compiled into a manual of sorts where I will justify each game and explicitly state the merit of the games as therapeutic tools. The experts have been extremely helpful, and it's obvious that this trip was needed to give the games this kind of exposure. Dr. Newman- Norlund has done an incredible job with these games at USC, and I'm proud to represent his work.

I have presented to two different lab groups, and the games have been very well received. These opportunities have allowed me to gain experience in taking constructive criticism and incorporating my own goals and ideas with those of outsiders. We have been able to brainstorm and think critically, and alterations and new games have been generated from these hours.

I'm running a study this upcoming week with pairs of university students and administering a questionnaire which aims to target their feelings about their teamwork and connections with one another. This will allow me to see the games in action and analyze the data generated from a new population.

Check out my blog for my food and travel pictures. I don't take pictures at the university, but I am actually doing work ;)
