This morning class was pushed back until 10. Unfortunately, Fes is even hotter now so walking at 9:15 would have been miserable. I was tired. I took a cab.
Strange interactions I had today with Moroccans:
- I saw a man with his half of his index finger up his nose while trying to sell groceries. Ewww
- I watched a man pick up a foot long stick and use it as an ear cleaner
- I saw a teenage Moroccan wearing a shirt that said "German and Sexy." He was neither.
- The man who charged me 6 dirhams for water in the morning charged me 8 in the afternoon. An excellent lesson in supply and demand (it was hot, I needed water, he had water) and understanding your clientele (he could tell I was too lazy to walk down the block and was willing to forgo the extra quarter).
I walked home for lunch, but then took a cab back. After class in the afternoon, I walked home. Because we have a week and a half of classes left before reading period, my only remaining work is my two final papers due May 29th and an Arabic final on May 24th.
When I went to the riad after class today, I watched 2 episodes of 30 Rock and the new modern family where they go to Disneyland and I laughed so hard.
After dinner, I skyped with my buddy Chris Gibson for an hour and with Maddie for an hour after that. There was no layover between conversations which was a little rough. It felt like running through an airport to catch your connection but without the airport and running parts, just the out of breath thing. Both of them are doing well.
After, I watched the new episode of Game of Thrones. It was great.
And to quote Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."
