Things have been a little out of control. I'm not going to say the sky is falling or anything like that, but as seems to be the constant case, we are busy. My first semester of grad school comes to a close this week with finals and papers and presentations that have been causing me …

Impressed with Moroccan Hospitality
We aren't even there yet, and I'm already impressed with Moroccan hospitality. I have been hustling to get our itinerary finalized amid work, school, holidays and just life in general.
