Yesterday I got my bazillianth set of passport photos taken at Costco, which is normally annoying but at this point I'm too excited about leaving to be annoyed. I finally go all my problems settled with the American University in Cairo's (AUC) website, which has been making the submission of paperwork very frustrating. They finally have me registered for classes, housing, and transportation. I will be living in Zamalek, an island residential district at the central point between Old Cairo, Islamic Cairo, and Giza. This weekend I'm heading up to Notre Dame one last time to visit some friends before I leave, and then it's off to Cairo via Chicago and Frankfurt.
