Voilà le deuxième album des photos.
Last night I talked with Doha, the homestay coordinator, about switching to a different family. She said that she would have it done in a day or two at the most. I went home and sat in my room alone, as usual, when my brother Fayçal came over to tell me that the family is going to have a party on Satuday. I asked why, and he said that it is because I have come here. I was so horrified that I couldn't even respond. After a week and a half in this home, of taking no part in the family whatsoever, they are deciding to celebrate me. Fayçal said that there weren't any guests being invited, but still, this is just terrible. They're trying to make me the bad guy! This is wrong on so many levels, but I cannot stay in that house. I don't do anything there.
We BU kids are talking about going to Casablanca this Friday afternoon and coming back Saturday morning. I sure do hope that it goes smoothly.
It keeps raining here! Spring better be beautiful for all this rain. I am running out of clean socks and underwear but I cannot expect my laundry to dry if it is raining once every thirty-six hours. I don't even know how laundry is done at my house now, i.e. whether they have a machine or do it by hand. Now I am changing families, and I don't know a thing about them. I'll feel terrible as the first thing I'll ask of them is to help me do my laundry. I may not have hot water or a western toilet at this new house. Oh dear, what have I gotten myself into?
I noticed yesterday that Coke here has four ingredients - carbonated water, sugar, caramel flavor, and coloring. American Coke has like twenty ingredients. I shall certainly try to bring back a few bottles to the States. Speaking of trying to bring stuff into countries, a girl in the program found a little bag of surprise in her laptop case. This little bag made it through security in America and in France and was not discovered. Without even realizing it, this girl smuggled marijuana across a whole ocean and two continents.
Oranges are just passing their prime here. The first week, it was as if God were presenting Himself everytime I ate an orange. Now, they're just plain old good. We plan on going to the super-marché to buy some necessities. Specifically, we girls are dairy deprived and craving it like whoa. We've been flying through rounds of cheese every hour or two, so now we're going to buy our own yogurt, cheese, and milk. It will be so glorious. That's been one of the hardest things for me, going from drinking three to five tall glasses of milk a day and cheese and yogurt galore throughout the day to having one itty bitty glass (a shot really) of hot milk with sugar in the morning and that's it. I NEED DAIRY!

Did u know that there is a rainbow in the pic of the cloudy, gray day? That's a sign that there is beauty where you are, it's just really hard to see. Keep looking, small one!
