I don't feel that I often get a chance to explain how good things are here, how really good. This blog can easily become a place for venting but I wanted to use this post to explain that for the first time in what feels like a long time, things are really good.
My new site is working out great, I have made two trips to Rabat in the past month (meaning delicious food and amazing company), I have a pending Rabat/ Fez trip in the next week, I have been getting to run every day, the weather is cooler and my applications are going well. Now with my new and improved internet connection I have the opportunity to Skype/ chat with my friends and family, keeping me more connected into their lives than ever.
I only have about 7 months left in Morocco, whew. Where did the time go?
For now, I am working on submitting law/ graduate school applications and getting started on two running water projects in two smaller villages just a few kilometers away. Yesterday we had a four hour meeting with the associations and the women of the respective villages and I am feeling good about getting started. These poor women haul water up this mountain every day, needless to say they are getting excited about the idea of having running water.
On the downside this is my second fall away from home, which I don't like. I miss college football games, the leaves changing color and the brisk fall wind. The leaves on my background are my way to live vicariously through my own blog. This year is also Mizzou's 100th anniversary Homecoming. I don't even know how to explain how sad I am that I am going to miss it.
My sister and best friend are booking their tickets to Morocco this weekend. We are going to do Morocco and then off to Rome for a few days. Rome will be my last big vacation before the end of my service and I couldn't be more excited!
That is all for my random updates, thanks for reading! Love you all.
