Morocco Time

There were three women who helped me along with the Fulbright, offering advice, revisions, suggestions, and moral support. I came to look upon them as the very best examples for how I’d like to live my life - they’re all generous, kind, intelligent, and strong. One of these women is Maryam, as mentioned before, but the second is Dr. Andrea Kavanaugh of Virginia Tech. Yes, where the shooting was. Yes, Dr. Kavanaugh is an engineer. Yes, I was chewing my nails to stubs over the past two days, wondering if she was OK.

This afternoon, she replied to my frenzied “Please let me know you’re OK” email from the day of the shootings, and I can’t remember when I’ve been so relieved. I don’t know what else to say except to repeat the title of this post, ????? ???.

P.S. I swear, I’m putting the shadda, but the post doesn’t display it!
