Orientation

It's been a long day. After an early breakfast, we (the CLS groups headed to Turkey and Korea) stayed in the hotel for about 7 hours of straight information sessions, with topics ranging from professional opportunities (conclusion: I won't be joining the foreign service anytime soon) to program logistics and site details (I learned that Ankara is hot, boring, and landlocked, but we'll be traveling almost every weekend to make up for it), before getting shipped off to a local restaurant for our "kick-off dinner." I feel sufficiently oriented and ready to fly to Turkey tomorrow night.
