Hello, new followers! As you can see, I'm starting a blog for my upcoming summer abroad in Cairo, Egypt. My program officially begins on June 18th and I fly out in less than a month - I couldn't be more excited! For those of you who don't know, I'm majoring in International Relations and Psychology at UC Davis with a minor in Middle East and South Asia Studies. I hope to attend law school and go on to practice international law and diplomacy in the Middle East. That being said, this will be the first time I've actually been to the Middle East (and actually my first time outside of the U.S./Canada/Mexico) so I'm hoping that the experience will allow me to learn a lot about Egyptian and Arab culture.
I'll continue to update this blog as I prepare to go to Egypt, and once I arrive I'm hoping to blog every couple of days about my studies and adventures in Cairo.
P.S. For anyone who doesn't speak Arabic (most of my viewers, I'm assuming), Misr or مصر is the name for Egypt in Arabic.
