... seems to be sacrilegious, this sobbing. It is snubbing the sun and challenging that glowing globe of glory to sink behind the clouds for eternity. <br> <br>For middle school students just learning writing terminology, that juicy lil&#8217; tidbit you just read is called &#8220;alliteration.&#8221; I gave you power and now you must go put it to good use. Use this new found elucidation to elicit exaggerated esteem from your friends and family. <br> <br>Unfortunately this ...

... to work and study in other countries upon graduation. A girl working on a Fullbright Scholarship from Fes came to talk to us about what Fullbright is, how to apply and the opportunities that exist within the program and our tour guides explained the Peace Corps and how/where it works. Though many students found the talk extremely motivating, it was not meant to be a convincing mechanism to come back to Morocco or another third world country, rather it was simply to ...

... very funny, just the commonplace stuff. Maybe my dignity was my funny and its lying in the morgue awaiting my scarf to be mummified. It wants to look good for the family. <br><br>Shout-outs:<br> <br>Hey, turtle kid, thanks for being nice. I needed nice after my horrible shopping day.<br> <br>Kelsey, thanks for coming again.<br> <br>Guards, as I&#8217;m sure you know Kelsey was staying the night here, thanks for not getting me kicked out. <br> <br>GRRRRS:<br> <br>Scary taxi driver.<br> <br>Tour guide.<br>

... have one of the only veggie sections in the Maghreb. To be short it was horrible experience and I never ended up there. In the end I went to the Agdal Label Vie then caught a cab to the &#8220;Gare Agdal&#8221; (&#8220;Agdal Rabat Train Station&#8221;). To Zineb: if you do read this, I made it to Friday&#8217;s via cab, had soup, and then I made the easy hop to the gare. Ignore the other useless blather. I intend to lie to you. I love white lies. <br> <br ...

Hola, as they never say here in Morocco:<br><br>Some updates: <br><br> <br>-As far into the future I can see, there won't be very many pictures. Sorry. <br><br> <br>-I never do anything, so you can look forward to anecdotes instead of travels. Sorry again. <br><br> <br>-Where I live will, from here on out, be known as the Bayt. I think it has a nice ring. Do not you?<br><br> <br>-This post has no contractions. Check it. <br><br><br>It is official. I am ...

... going to Oudiya (which is like an old fortress/city in Rabat) but we went to the souk instead, in order to rent clothes (that's what you do here) for the Hafla (party) at school on Thursday night. The souk was fun. 4 of us girls went with one of the instructors, to find our caftans/takshetas for the hafla, and we all got pretty ones! They are all very sparkley with lots of sequins, and embroidery ...

... br>We had a man join us in our compartment trying to hook us up with a guide for Fes. We weren't sure if he was legitimate or not, but we didn't go for it. He claimed to be from Fes and said his guide was the best guide in all of Fes (aren't they all?). He even claimed his guide gave President Regan a tour of Fes back in the 80's (that was not a selling point for me, but I guess he thought it would be). He spoke English ...

... what's the word for 'that's enough!'? I ran to find my phrase book, looked it up, yelled it over to her, she said it to the kid, and that was that. It was so ridiculous - if anyone saw us, they would've cracked up. All in all it was a great first day, but overwhelming. We were wiped out!! Tonight we spent about an hour putting together ideas for tomorrow. Hopefully we can gain a bit more control of the crowd. This afternoon we had a debrief session ...

... 8217;t usually say things like that, either, since it sounds so dorky. I try to take the opportunity to practice French, which they all speak perfectly, but not to each other (that&#8217;s Arabic), so the opportunity is limited. In any place where they see many tourists their English is probably as good as my French or better, so once they hear my mistakes and accent, well&#8230; you know. Anybody ...
