4 More Days

Well, the countdown is on. I will be leaving the country on Saturday, which is just 4 days away. Holy crap. Good thing I am completely packed and ready to go - NOT. 

In the midst of packing, shopping, and finishing up my TA roles from the semester, I have a lot of time to think about my upcoming trip. Of course, I do not worry about things at all (thanks Dad), and I love having absolutely no idea what I am getting myself into, so all this time to think is great. Again, NOT.

So I have decided to put together a list of my top fears of Morocco. Hopefully many of them will be trivial once I get there and I will laugh at my pre-trip naivety since I will come back an experienced and cultured woman. Or they will all happen and I will die (no, not actually, Mom). 

1. Bugs. Especially giant flying bugs in my room at night that will crawl in my ears and/or sting my face. 

2. That I will get hopelessly lost every day and not know enough Arabic to get directions home. And then I would have to sleep outside. With the bugs. 

3. That I will get really sick and miss out on important trips and events. 

4. That Arabic will never "click" and I won't ever understand what is going on. 

5. And the most important - that somehow Adventures in Odyssey will not work in Morocco and I won't be able to fall asleep the entire trip. 

It is my goal to update this blog about once a week with pictures and updates about what I am doing in Morocco! The next posting will be much more interesting since I will be here :)
