An internet start-up

And it begins.

In a nutshell, here's my plan:
I'll leave late in August 2005 for Cairo, where I'll study Arabic at the American University in Cairo, or AUC. I hope to be funded by an National Security Educational Program grant, which I've applied for and should hear about in the next few weeks. If it comes through, it should pay for all my expenses. Hedging my bets, I've applied for scholarships and financial aid, which would just cover everything if I don't splurge on anything.
