Today was a no-school day!

I was planning to fast with my family, but mom made me a pot of mint tea, so...how could I say no? There are times when appreciating hospitality takes precedence, you know?

Favorite part of the day: sitting in my friend’s living room simultaneously watching 1) a Mexican telenovella, dubbed in Darija, set in New York, and 2) a pirated copy of Step Up 3D dubbed in French with someone translating the important parts into English.

Least favorite part of the day: waking up to realize that I have a cold...boo.

Some friends and I decided to talk a walk around the medina, and apparently everyone else in the medina did too because there were sooo many people, and it was super hot. I had planned to take a ton of pictures, but failed. So tomorrow I will try again...and maybe I will go to to the park!

I’ve taken to writing down every new Darija word I learn in an attempt to remember some of them. We’ll see how this works.

As I write this I am finding out that brother Houssin took a year of English...i knew he was hiding something.
