Do you know that ex who is the ex because of his constant apologizing and promising to be better even though you both know that it’s all just a bunch of poppycock? Well, it seems that, as it would relate to my relationship with my blog, I’m slowly turning into said ex. Something must be done! I don’t want to be dumped. The final weeks of school and final exams are upon me so do bare with me. I swear I will be better. I really do swear…
Now, that’s enough with the begging and pleading...
This weekend is hands down, one of the best weekends I’ve had in the 8 plus months that I’ve been in Morocco. Where do I even begin? When we were coming here, we were made to believe that we were among Antigua and Barbuda’s best and brightest; HOWEVER, I must say, if we are who our country looks up to, we are a doomed and hopeless society… (I kid). In all honesty though, we are a bunch of idiots, who if left to their own devices, can be up to much buffoonery.
We’re just a few days shy of our bi-monthly scholarship money- we are all pretty much broke and too proud to call home for any money. Adding insult to injury, things have really been heating up in Africa (literally). The summer heat is quickly approaching and I have never missed rain in my entire life as I miss it now. It is HOT with a capital SCORCHING!!!! So what do we do to combat the empty wallets and spring/summer heat? We spend a weekend playing charades and going to the beach.
The story begins like this… A few of us were heading home from spending the last of our cash at the supermarket and as always, we begin to reminisce on home… Charades comes up then BAM! Next thing you know, we’re in the garden with only moonlight and a flew garden lights to guide us as we twist, turn and make ridiculous gestures in the name of fun and charades.
Charades is one of the games my best friend and I enjoy to play. Not only because we’re super good at it but if you’ve ever played the game, you know just how HILARIOUS it can get. For us, it’s all about making things so hard that it’s almost im possible to act out, Thus being able to have a good laugh at our enemy team’s expense as they make complete idiots of themselves. The other night was no exception and again, it was tons upon tons of buffoonery!
In the end, my team (The Power Rangers) ended up kicking Team Edward’s butt by a 35 or so point margin. I know right? What kind of name is Team Edward? They were just begging to lose. I like making things interesting, so the other Rangers and I decided that as punishment for messing with us throughout the game, Team Edward had to… well, see for yourself.

The initial plan was to have them strut their stuff around campus but I could see they were extremely mortified by the idea so we decided at the last minute to just take pics of their humiliation. Either way would have been fine by me :D.
Saturday afternoon was a killer! The sun was just pissed at the world and it felt like he was just sticking his tongue out as to say “Yeah. I’m burning the hell outta yah today… what cha gone do about it? That’s right… You can’t so a thing. Now bow to me you fools”. Ok, perhaps I got a little carried away there.
When the heat had become too unbearable, we packed a few (very few) snacks and some water and headed to Al Manal to get the bus to the beach. After feeling like complete fools for waiting around for about an hour for the bus, having about three buses pass us because they were so full of other people going to the beach, and then being confused as to what we were going to do to get to the beach in the quickest possible time, we finally got one and were on our way. A great thing too, is that we discovered a new beach. The weekend before, about six of us found one of the beaches in our area. That one was pretty crowded today and a little guy on the bus was nice enough to lead us to another beach which was just as crowded but likeable none the less. I haven’t gone “swimming” at either beach and quite frankly, I’m not that inspired to …
I know, I know. I need to be a little more open minded but I mean, the heart wants what the heart wants and If I won’t be able to pick up some phone numbers at the beach, a girl should at least be able to enjoy a clean, swimmable, beach! I’m working on my outlook because it needs help :s
