Last day in the States

Although it doesn't quite feel real yet, this is my last full day in the U.S. until the end of July. I've been receiving emails from the Welcome Programme over the past few days, and it sounds as though there are lots of opportunities for fun outings (ex. tours of various museums and parts of the city, including a late-night tour of the Louvre that sounds really cool) during the orientation, and I plan to participate in as many as possible. I also received the itinerary for my program in Morocco. It looks even more amazing than I was anticipating -- I copied it below if you want to check it out.

That's all for now. The next time I write, it will be from Paris!
