time

so, we are technically about halfway through our training now. somehow, though, the end seems to be coming faster and faster and faster; we find our our site assignments in less than a week!!!!!! i am incredibly excited and nervous to find out where i will be. part of me would like ot avoid being in snowy areas, but that is pretty much impossible at this point: my language assignment indicates that i will probably be in the middle and high atlas, where they receive snow even now. some of the volunteers have pictures of sledding with some of the kids at their sites! and yet there are places in this countyr so hot in the summer that palm trees spontaneously combust. i have been told over 140 degrees farenheit, at least. so we will see.

today we head back to our community based training site, to continue our language immersion and training. we are planning to hold and earth day celebration this weekend with some of the kids from the school. even though earth day isnùt until next week, we are celebrating is on the weekend, because that is when we will be there. it should be fun! we have some posters to give the classrooms, and will try to do some education about the cool animals and plants that make morocco their home, and then play some educational games. should be good; but it will be an adventure for sure with the amount of language that i have actually mastered! heh_heh.
