After much deliberation the past few months, Alex and I have decided what we are going to do with the rest of our time overseas. We traveled to Syria last year to look into the language programs there, and were more than a bit disappointed. So Alex suggested the intensive language study in Fez, Morocco. We looked into it and decided we would rather spend the money taking 20 hours of classes a week for 12 weeks of Modern Standard Arabic. This is exactly what I was looking for, and Alex has had some experience there before and could attest to the quality of the institute. So we are flying to Morocco on Feb 22.
Also, as I am in the process of applying to universities in America for the fall semester and Alex is applying to graduate schools, we have bought our tickets back to America. We are repatriating on June 3. It’s going to be good to be back in America!

Melissa,
What a great post. A little story and then a little philosophy! No doubt you would like to learn more things, taking the generalist approach, especially after making 12 New Year's resolutions. However, you are following them all and couldn't make me more proud. You get so excited whenever you do something new, it's so cute. I don't even have enough space left to explain the times you have been obviously giddy at a new sight, food, place, and activity. Love you.
