So this is happening. A mere 124 days (but who's counting?!) after receiving that email-- and almost fainting in the middle of E.H. Little Library-- I learned where I'll be spending my Fulbright year in Mexico.

Atlixco, Puebla, here I come!
Google it and you'll know as much as I do about this place. From what I can tell it's absolutely stunning.

Exhibit A:

Since "Malissa abroad" is essentially synonymous with "awkward social interactions and cultural misunderstandings," the resurrection of (Mal)entendida was a no-brainer. For instance, it looks like I'll be working at a university, but with a few minor details TBD (housing, my specific teaching role, if I'll make any friends, etc.), the next few weeks will be especially terrifying interesting. 

I set off for orientation in Mexico City on August 22. Wish me suerte!
