T-minus 22 hours!

I leave tomorrow at 8 am for orientation in Washington, DC. After two days there, I will head with the rest of the folks in the program to Istanbul for another two days of in-country orientation.

As of now, I am unpacked and have a nice little to-do list tasks: finish fixing my iPod and computer, get little gifts for my host family, set up one of those away messages on my cell phone voice mail, clean my room and eat dinner with my mom and dad (swiss steak and dumplings). I've already done the easiest: set up this blog.
