Another week in Fes is almost over. Two more left and I'll be jet setting on home.
This week the heat has returned with a vengeance. I cannot wait til cooler temperatures and the pools and beach in Agadir. Although, I am probably spending the week alone so hopefully I don't drive myself insane.
Tuesday night I went with Samantha to the last gathering at Bait Kebir. That is a large riad in the medina where a few students were living. They are leaving for multiple reasons the main two being the cost, since a lot of the roommates have already left and the fact that a girl got robbed right outside their door in broad daylight at knife point. All three girls now live in the residence.
It was a pretty chill night, at least the part I was there for. The most exciting/terrifying thing was an incident with a cockroach. Now roaches, though unpleasant, are typically dealable. I mean they aren't like bees and what not that sting or anything they just look disgusting. However, medina cockroaches are another story. These things are the most monstrous creatures I have ever seen. So Sam and I we walking to the roof when I noticed a lovely medina cockroach near her on the stairs. She ran up really quick and I decided to let it scurry out of the way before walking past it. It was on a stair that was level with my face and about a foot and a half maybe two feet in front of me. It appears to be walking away and then next thing I know it flies right at my face. Now I know cockroaches have wings but I was a little petrified when one the size of my hand is soaring towards my face. Not pleasant.
Classes have gotten beyond boring. I am actually supposed to be there right now. :( So not worth it. I haven't really been sleeping so I decided to enjoy my breakfast and catch up on things before heading to Rabat this weekend. I am not a huge fan of Rabat but I think that is because last time I was so in love with Fes. My love for Fes is still there but I am a little done with the hassling and the culture difference so maybe sterile Rabat will be a good change for a weekend. I also plan to hit up the American bookstore so I have stuff to read by the pool in Agadir.
I got a package from my mama on Tuesday. It was so exciting to get mail. Though it was mildly an ordeal to get it from the post office. Although pretending to not know the language is a plus because I think I was supposed to pay some customs duties on the stuff but I didn't.
Last night, a small group of us went to eat at a Vietnamese restaurant. Now it was more like anything Asain but it was actually really good. I think we are planning on going back next week.
