Although we are in an exotic place it’s amazing how quickly your daily activities become routine. We get up in the morning have breakfast (bread and coffee) then head to school to study language and culture. For the last 2 weeks, though, we have been cracking down on the language preparing for today’s Language Proficiency Interview (LPI). But now it’s like the last week of school before summer break, the attention spans are at a minimum as is the motivation to spend all day sitting in the class practicing dialogues. Not to mention the temperature is definitely rising and the flies are hatching.

Today’s LPI was fine, hard to tell how we actually did but we will find out in a few days when we are back in Ouarzazate for our final hub session before swearing in and departure to our sites. Whatever the results it’s a great weight lifted. Now we can concentrate on our party for tomorrow and saying our goodbyes to our families.

It will definitely be strange to leave Asfalou and our host family since it’s been our home for the last 2 months but our brains have already started switching gears to our final site and future projects, whatever those might be.
