the beginning of the end.
last preport of the summer was tonight = :(
staying in an amazing riad in Marrakech with my friends for the next 4 days = :)
getting an A on my Global Studies test = :D
eating pigeon for dinner = ehhhhhh
tonight is supposed to be the rockiest night of the entire voyage. the ship tilts to a 40 degree angle on each side from 11pm-4am. awesome. looks like i won’t be sleeping tonight. we were told to take everything off countertops unless we wanted it to fly at us while we’re (attempting) to sleep. soooo we’re having a sleepover!
the entire faculty and staff gave the students a standing ovation at preport tonight. i almost cried. that’s bad news..i am going to be the biggest mess on the last day of SAS…best summer of my life.
Anyway…Morocco was conquered by the Spanish, French and Arabs all at different times so I’m super excited to see how each country left their mark. I was reading how it’s nearly impossible to get around by street signs because they change languages so often. You can find mosques next to French parks next to Spanish restaurants. It’s going to be so so so interesting. Good thing Jess speaks some French because Spanish is definitely my only language forte. And the only Arabic I know are the numbers…compliments of the study sheet made for me by my roommate.
I’m going to try to bring a pet chimp home. apparently these are readily available on the streets of Morocco..and maxi needs a playmate. wooohooo. well..it’s either that or a cobra. I choose chimp.
