It's hard to get back at 8 o'clock on Sunday from a great weekend like that and not feel completely exhausted. Rather than try to resist, I embraced my lack of energy and spent the whole day in a groggy state of affairs.
Breakfast was more toast and some goat milk. Arabic was long. I walked all four directions to and from school. Lunch was tagine with carrots and some fruit salad for dessert. I managed to dodge a bullet in the afternoon and didn't have to do my presentation on Welcome to Paradise because we watched a powerpoint about Orientalist art. It's European artwork that's not nearly as fun to look at because the women in the paintings aren't allowed to be naked.
This week is going to be hard because it's midterms period. Ranting for a minute:
Tuesday - 3 page paper due summarizing my Year of the Elephant presentation from last week
Wednesday - Welcome to Paradise Presentation
Thursday - Arabic Quiz and Gender in the Medina midterm (have to read 220 pages of articles before then)
Monday - Sand Child presentation
Wednesday - Arabic Quiz and Lla MJ's midterm and Welcome to Paradise 3 page paper due
Not sure if Spain is going to happen this weekend because this week has the brunt of the work on the program. As much as it pains me to say it, work takes precedence over adventures. As a result, I spent 3 hours doing readings in the riad this afternoon, spent some time after dinner working on my write-up and refining my presentation for wednesday, and am dreading the rest of the afternoons and nights between now and Thursday. Sorry for the depressing write-up. Don't worry it's not that time of month for me. Here's a silly picture to make up for it.
