I'm a Slacker

I'm Way Behind on Blogging!

   Sorry, everyone! (And by that I mean probably just Mom and Dad.)
   I have been soooo busy with school, Morocco coming up, and of course, traveling that I haven't had the time to blog! I want to really bad and write down everything, but it might not happen until after Morocco. :( I'm going to do my best!

   The real reason I'm blogging is because I couldn't wait to post that I MET LOCALS today!
   I was sitting on a bench in the concrete quad that we have at my university. It's an old military barracks building, so the classrooms are on the circumference of the building and there's a quad in the middle with the cafe-like tables for the cafeteria (it's seating is partly outside) on one end and park benches and other seating all around the edges.
   So I was there and some other students came and sat on the other side of the bench I was on. I said, "Hola" and asked them where they were from and after looking at me like I had 6 heads, they said, "Here" in Spanish. After saying I was from the US and using some bad simple phrases in Spanish, one of the guys turned around and started speaking English to me. (They always do that.)
   Long story short, he is looking for an intercambio and I want friends so it's great! His name is Miquel. We'll see how it goes. I'm so excited to meet some new people, maybe get to know the city better from a local's point of view! (I'm such a dork, I know.)

Vale! (That's Spanish for "Okay.") I gotta go do some homework!

i am. . . busy!!
