Salam wa aleikum, ya sadiqi! (Which means "Peace be upon you, my friend!)
This will be my blog for my time in Morocco as I continue my studies in Arabic. We have a few hours before we head the airport, so I figured now would be as good a time as any to let you know how it's been going.
I got to Washington DC two days ago and we've been doing orientation so that we don't do anything too stupid while we're there. (And there's been some other stuff about language and culture shock and all that good stuff.) I've met some fun people and we just sent off the group of students that will be spending their next year in Egypt. So I've just got to say that I'm pretty glad that I'll only be spending two months in Morocco, no matter how awesome it might turn out to be.
So we're just waiting in Starbucks, looking forward to our (extremely long) flight, which I'm sure will be a bundle of joy(ously caused pain). Eh, it could be worse. I'll let you know how I fared once I actually get to Meknes, which is the city that I'll be living in. I'll also let you know about my host family and roommate once I actually get to know them. (No snap judgements (except about the 5-month old who will be adorable because he's a baby))
Anyway, I'll be taking pictures and doing all that good stuff, so be prepared! Until then!
Ma’a salama!!
