Salutations! Thanks for reading. I will be using this blog as a diary while I spend six weeks in Marrakesh and Essaouira, Morocco, learning Arabic and staying with a host family. Who knows what might get thrown up here. Also be advised there might be some posts just about the music I am listening to, because I am filling up my 80 GB iPod with a lot of stuff that I've been meaning to listen to but haven't had the time. Your feedback is welcome. I'll also try to talk about Morocco and Arabic and whatnot.
Right now it's Sunday night, the second-to-last night I will be spending at home. On Tuesday afternoon I go to a hotel in Arlington for orientation, and I fly DC-New York-Casablanca-Marrakesh on Thursday. Yesterday and today have been largely devoted to packing; luckily my suitcase is only 30 pounds so I should be okay. I hope I haven't forgotten anything. If you want anything from Morocco, let me know and I'll buy it for you if there is room in my bags.
Unfortunately I am missing Telekinesis, Camera Obscura and Metric in concert this week (not to mention the June 20 Attributes & Action Jackson show) but, you know, going to Morocco is probably going to be more fun anyway. But to all my friends who are going to those shows, please share pictures and memories.
I'll most likely write something tomorrow or Tuesday morning before I leave, so until then, peace.
