The first
few days of class have proven to be – trying. Arbitrary room and time changes
with sometimes as little as a five-minute heads-up (online, no less) have
gotten the best of most of us. My schedule still isn’t finalized, and I need to
go into town on Monday to pay my university fees. The wifi still won’t let me
connect (I’m on the guest network), and life has been frustrating of late.
On the plus
side, I have successfully done laundry for the first time! It was remarkably
straightforward, though I hope I’m not jinxing myself by saying so. I have also
met a couple more Moroccan students, most of them being guys. A couple of
outgoing girls will make an effort to get to know me, so I’m not sure if it’s a
cultural thing or if I’m just naturally more comfortable around guys.
Either way,
tonight we did something so remarkably normal I still can’t believe it happened
– we went bowling. A bunch of us international students and a handful of Moroccan
students went into town to have dinner, and then we went bowling. The place
only had six lanes, and it reeked of cigarette smoke (but then, a lot of
buildings here do), but it played music like “Call Me Maybe” and Katy Perry
songs.
Tomorrow we’ll
be going into Fes, if we can get everyone together in a decent amount of time. That’s
another downside of Moroccan time sense; coordinating trips is going to be a
bitch. Hopefully my next post will be detailing the wonders of Fes!
