No other takers?

Okay, so it's been a few days, might as well bury my own post with another one.

I'm sitting at the Amideast center waiting to find out about my homestay family. If any of you have ever had to meet with Anne Greene on a regular basis, this is a bit like those meetings - ten minute slots assigned, and everything running heinously late.

The Amideast building is a funny place. There's a computer lab in the basement, reception on the first floor, and classrooms for three upper floors. I think it's a converted boarding house or hotel. Tea and coffee breaks are frequent - just when we've had too much darija or Orientating someone appears with trays of teapots and we get to take a pause.

We have the afternoon off. I'm dead nervous about moving in with a family on Saturday, but I guess it's like my overall abroad terror and it will evaporate eventually.

The weather has gotten much better since we arrived. The middle of the day is warm enough to go without a coat, and at the moment it's blue skies all around.
I'm running out to get food and mentally prep for darija, guh. Multimedia update soon.
