Pre-Departure Fulbright Orientation

Ok, I'm in DC meeting up with my fellow Fulbrighters for the first time and having a pretty good time. I feel official with my Fulbright badge :). We are all very excited about our upcoming journey. So far its been a lot of meeting and greeting, panel discussion, workshops about teaching English as a second language and sightseeing. I have even met a girl that will be at the same university as me. Its going to be a very interesting 9 months in Turkey. We also recieved our tickets and I will be leaving the country on September 12th!!!
