3UROTRIP 7/16

 Tetouan Morocco, Chefchaouen Morocco, Tetouan Morocco

 - Woke up at around 8:30 AM, we took a cab to our classroom where we would have class. Basically camilo just lectured about the old medina in Tetouan and how it's a unesco world heritage site.

 - After class we went on a bus and we have a daytrip to chefchaouen, a tourist town on a hill

 - Along the way we stopped in a rural farm where we talked to the family and they hosted us for lunch. It was a really cool experience, it was so cool seeing that at the end of the day its just another farm, every country operates this sort of rural farm dynamic the same. Except here they have some of their own Morocco ways like the food they eat, but its honestly really cool to be able to experience the other aspects of Morocco and all that, like I really have a lot to say and I feel so bad for doing this but I really have to sleep right now its like 2:55 AM so I will skip my reflection from this mostly, i really liked their hospitality and the food and the tea, so cool. This is why we study abroad, to learn about these things.

 - Then after lunch we drove to chefchaouen, we did a tour of the city, there was a ton of blue everywhere. They have blue paint because apparently theres a myth that it repels mosquitos, but also cuz white is blinding everywhere so they add blue to make it more pleasant or something. Also in general it's just so beautiful, I love it. Otherwise There's a mountain in the background of the city and it reminds me of sardegna.

 - Then we had like 1 hr of free time where we went to the market and we found a store where they sell jerseys and I bought two jerseys, one red hakimi morocco one, and another casablanca white club jersey that looks cool. THey were each 10 dollars converted, really wanted to buy morocco jerseys here so I was very happy. Markets here were overall a bit overpriced too because it was so touristy. 

 - Then we drove back basically, chefchaoun is around like 1 hr away, a bit more, so yea that was the day, really fun day honestly i loved everything, it was very hot in chefchaoun, I have a lot more to talk about but like I really need to sleep and I kinda don't wanna write this.

 - Ate homestay dinner at like 12 AM, will talk about homestay in the 7/15 post. I am running on 4 hrs of sleep and I'm about to get like 5 today or something this is not good this blog post is a mess oh well!

Fire alarm in the dorm

  Something crazy, something memorable, and something hilarious happened yesterday.  So 11/6/23, let's do the typical day diary type stuff.  Here's what happened on November 6th  - It was a Monday, and usually I do push day on Mondays but I was super sore from running on Saturday and spending 3 hrs at the gym on Sunday playing basketball and doing pull day.   - So I woke up at 9:50 AM, got ready, and I didn't have a smoothie ready for this morning so I cut myself an apple and a banana and that was my breakfast. While this happened I checked canvas and my professor sent out an announcement that today's lecture was gonna be online again because she was still feeling sick.  - SO I took my lecture at my desk and it is harder to focus for sure but I still got it done because like she moves at a pretty fast pace in her lecture you always have to be on top of your game.  - After lecture, I think I chilled for a while and cubed a bit or something, but the...

casual productive tuesday + arian's slug story

 Today is Tuesday and here I am wrapping up how the day went. It was fairly uneventful I would say.   - Woke up at like 7:50 AM and got ready. I literally stopped telling myself to pull up to this class on time because there really is no need to and it feels so good to press that snooze button  - And so I went to my 8 AM class until 9:35 AM. I put in one earbud and litearlly finished my reading reflection due on Thursday during class which felt super satisfying. Literally that class is so soothing sometimes to do work because its just kids yapping making a nice environment for me to do work  - Then I went back to my room and did some cubing until around 10:50 AM  - Then I left at 10:50 AM cuz Jackson was coming back today at 11:20 AM and I don't wanna deal with his mom being in the room lol so I guess that means a very early lunch for me.  - After lunch I took a bike down to McHenry library. At this point it was like 12:00 PM. I stayed at the library f...
