fin: A fresh start

First of all, my apologies for having taken so long to update. The past month has been wonderful, I had a chance to visit home and those who I love so much. Like anything, it's had it's ups and downs, but from here on out I am going on faith alone to ensure that the following five months will be productive ones from both a personal and an academic standpoint.

I've just moved into a new apartment in Rabat which I will be sharing with another wonderful and charming Fulbrighter once she returns from her travels. The apartment is in an area of Rabat called the Oudaya (here is the first link that came up when I Googled my new 'hood, the text is in French, but if you can't understand it you can at least get a gist from the photos, etc: http://www.rabat-maroc.net/oudaias/les%20oudaias.htm ) It's a gorgeous place to live, really and truly. I am about a 2 minute walk from the beach, and the neighborhood is busy and bustling. Friends and family: VISIT!
