It's my life

We met our language partners today! Well kind of. The students in Morocco are still on break, and the weather was bad so not everyone showed up. But we had a great time! We played an icebreaker for like an hour, and it was so much fun! It seems like we have a great group of students to hang out with while we are here! Mackenzie and I were paired up with Miriam, but it seems like we will be spending a lot of time with everyone in the group. Some of the guys in the group live in Ocean so they can walk us home if we are all hanging out after dark. "It's my life" is the nickname of one of the guys in the group...still geeking out on that one. I can't wait to hang out with everyone, they are going to help so much with learning the language and learning all fun things to do while we are here!

I had my first day at my internship today, I met with the director and we (Rebecca and I work at the same office) went to the office today to set our schedules. I will be working there Tuesday and Thursday from 10AM-2PM. We have our ESL training next Wednesday, I will be teaching English at a community development center Tuesday and Thursday nights and on Wednesday nights I will be teaching English to adults at the centre la democracia. The office is SUPER close to AMIDEAST, which is great since I will need to get back to school for class after work.

Amelia and I browsed through some of the stores in Agdal today. We will need to head back for a shopping day soon, the stores were a little too overwhelming for window shopping lol.

We are working on a Super Bowl party at AMIDEAST! We are 6 hours ahead so we can't watch the game Sunday :( But it'll still be fun! We usually don't have anything "planned" Monday afternoons because it is reserved for program activities, and Doha said it would be a good cultural activity so we are inviting our conversation partners. I think we are going to make some food as well. Now we just need to figure out how to screen the game!

We had a lecture today about Amazigh/Berber history today. Our professor was hilarious and super friendly. He is taking us to Meknes and Fez next month; it should be a fun trip, it sounds like he has some exciting things planned for us.

First Darija quiz Wednesday, AGHHH!!!!! I need to practice with Fatima tomorrow for sure!! Well I have fusha homework as always so it's back to the books.
