Tuesday
Nothing too special about today other than learning our schedule for next week. Knowing how quickly schedules change here, i don't take the schedule very seriously. I mean I think we'll do everything on the list, but nothing is ever at the time they say and the order will probably change at least 3 times. Every day is like that here, so you kind of get used to it. But tentatively we're supposed to leave for Ifrane at 8 on Saturday morning where we're supposed to visit the university and have lunch there. Then we'll go to Azrou where we'll visit the Cedar forests which apparently are home to barbary apes. We're supposed to get to the hotel in Middelt by 6:30. Then Sunday morning we'll leave for Erfoud (i have no idea where or what that is). After lunch we'll take land rovers to Merzouga, then go on a camel ride through the dunes.I'm soooooooo excited for camels!! Then we'll spend the night. Monday morning we'll leave for Rissani then take the bus to N'kob (again, no idea where that is) to visit the Draa Valley, meet with a tribe and have lunch. Then we leave again for Ourzzazate, where we'll have a presentation of Association Tishka which i don't remember at all what it is. AThe next morning we'll leave for Marrakech, where we can wander and explore as we wish. We can do whatever we'd like both Tuesday and Wednesday, but we'll leave Marrakech on Thursday to go to Essaouira. We have all Thursday afternoon and night to explore Essaouira, then we'll leave the hotel early Friday morning, have lunch in Al Jadida then be back in Rabat by 4pm. It's going to be crazy! The whole week is going to be so insane and jam packed with adventures. I'm going to be sooo tired, I'll probably sleep the whole trip home next Friday! Funny enough, the day after we get back my friends and I rented an apartment in Agdal (a section of Rabat) to celebrate Halloween. We really wanted to dress up so we opted to just rent a place so we can without feeling weird about it. It should be fun! It's going to be an intense week. After we had our info session on next week, I talked to my professor about my independent study project and he seemed to give me the thumbs up. I'm so excited to start! I'm planning on visiting the center again on Friday, but I told them I can't really start until November. It should be pretty awesome I think. already I've met people who should be able to help me. I really just can't wait to get started. I really can't believe that we're that close to independent study time. I mean, this is already week 8. We're dead center of the semester. I remember thinking about this time in August and it seemed so far away, but my birthday is already coming up on Friday. Can someone tell me when that happened? Because I honestly don't have any idea. I think I'm planning on celebrating my birthday with a few friends on Friday, but I think i'll wait to truly celebrate until we get to Marrakech and of course Halloween will be an extension of my birthday. I love it!
