The week before





Our trip is quickly approaching. We are currently preparing for our expedition abroad. We are finishing up our class on U.S. soil, trying to make the finishing touches on our presentations, writing our papers, and absorbing as much advice as possible. We are patiently awaiting our departure from Morgantown on May 30th. The next post will be from China.
