Today is the day.

This is it. I leave Boston tonight at 9:40 pm, and after a quick layover in Zurich I will be touching down in Istanbul at 4:30 local time on September 15. I have reserved a room at the Old City Hostel for the first night, and then the next morning I will make my way over to Bogazici University where I will check into my dorm! So that's it for now, because I actually still have a bit to do before my flight out tonight. Typical.
