From confused airport wanderer to featured author in the Annual Review, what a ride. Goodbye Sweden, and thank you for everything.

Final projects, jackets back out, and one more week to soak up Stockholm before law school calls me home.
The work is winding down, the city is cooling off, and somehow this internship is almost over. How did that happen?
Lost internet, found peace (and a fan), tagged resources, and ran through three towns by accident. Sweden is keeping me on my toes!
Toolkit tagging by day, fan-hunting by necessity, and occasional accidental city-hopping. All part of the Stockholm experience.
This week: bonded with the intern crew, learned some software, and accidentally became an expert on Albanian election law!
Discovered royal palaces, ran through multiple towns by accident, and learned Sweden’s weather has more mood swings than the law, week four’s been a blast!
Starting work for the first time in-person, commutes with art, an office on an island, and me vs. the endless daylight. Sweden: 1, Cianna: figuring it out.
Second Week: Survived my first week in Sweden with only minor metro-related confusion, one accidental Ikea detour, and an unhealthy dependence on blackout curtains. AI research is cool, but figuring out how to sleep here might be my real challenge.
