Breathe it in

So I got back from Morocco yesterday.

And I'm still recovering. Sooo much crap went down. Most good, some bittersweet, some downright shitty.

More on this later.

Grasses are greener

I'm less than 12 hours from being at the airport to head to Morocco... but all I can think about is not being able to in Miami for the Trance festival that Adi is going to.

Ah well. You can't have everything, right?

Just slide away

It's my 21st birthday on Sunday. Yippee.

I'm trying not to make too big of a deal out of it. Because in all seriousness, it really isn't. Globally, the age of 21 doesn't have much meaning. Here, it means you can drink alcohol. Legally.

I think I'm just going to go out on Sunday and have a cocktail and toast existence.

Truth be told

I'm going to get the vague stuff out of the way first. At least that way, people won't come away from this blog thinking I'm a complete flake... or at least one would hope.

RoKS went well, I guess. I'm not sure how I feel about it and how it all went down. I think it's safe to say that it's too soon to be able to really step back and look at it from a truly analytical perspective. More on this later.

All seriousness aside, I must have woken up at least three times last night because my bedmate moved around into a spooning position with me. It was a little awkward because I was already on the extreme left side (my side) of the bed. Each time I'd move over a little bit more and fall back asleep, and then wake up later and the gap would be closed again. After the third time I just thought "fuck it, might as well get used to it" and did my best to ignore it. I don't know who it was that told me you aren't a true AIESECer until you've slept in an awkward situation at a conference, but whoever you are, I think I finally appreciate what you told me. And yes, I'm leaving my bedmate anonymous.


Fortune cookie I got on the way back from RoKS at a Chinese buffet place: "You will step on the soil of many countries in your lifetime." Fitting for the weekend, I think.

Brace for impact

RoKS preparation is essentially complete.

The budget seems stable and in the black.

Now it's just a matter of time...
