Arrival in Washington + Parting Thoughts

I departed from Tampa today at around 12:00 AM and arrived in Washington around 2:00 PM. Since then I have had a blast, meeting up with an aunt, an uncle, and a grandfather whom I do not get to see nearly enough and meeting with all of the amazing people who are taking part in this program. It's really been humbling to see how brilliant and proficient many of these students are. The introduction, getting to know you stuff was light and did not last long, and I spent more time getting acquainted with people on my own. We are to rise before 8:00 tomorrow for a joint breakfast, followed by a whirlwind of orientation-type activities. And then, Saturday, we finally leave for our destination......

Looking back on this blog, which will end on Saturday (in shaa2 allah right before we depart) at the same time as my new blog, The Run Through Muscat begins, I am disappointed both with my lack of posts and with my lack of activities. I had many good goals but unfortunately lacked the motivation and discipline to achieve them all in the time span given me. I cannot say that I accomplished nothing with this blog and my routine and set of goals, but I sincerely hope that I will be more diligent in Oman. Only time will tell........
