前途: A Year in Morocco

Here, like many cities in Morocco, there is much construction in the works. “Developement,” my students would tell you.  To illustrate its effect on everyday life, please enjoy an excerpt from a recent conversation between me and a friend:

…

me:  true

i’d have to do some searching

i think tefl certification is next for me

or mayyyybe celta

tefl seems to work just as well though

and is cheaper and much less of a time commitment

i wish my neighbor had not decided today was a good day to pound hammers ALL DAY

 my friend:  lol

srsly

 me:  it was yesterday too

and it was sunday

there was no escape

 my friend:  bummer

loud music time?

 me:  ozzy osbourne #nowplaying

its a kind of cultural exchange i think

 my friend:  LOL
