Today is my last day at Qatar University. We will fly back to the US on Saturday (31 May). It will be bittersweet. This has been a fantastic experience. I have a new perspective on the the world, an understanding far less American-centric and robust. I've made some fantastic friends and met interesting people from all over the world. I taught a class of incredible students, stretching my teaching skills into a domain I lacked knowledge on. I now have a practical knowledge of second language learning that will be invaluable. The stay was not without it's stressful events (traffic mainly), and I'm definitely ready to be home to see family and friends. Good-by Qatar, America, here I come.
