More Moroccan Firsts

Last night Sarah and I experienced our first thunderstorm (which we've heard is quite rare for this time of year). Although I am not easily awakened, I did wake up and realize that our windows were open. I closed the ones in my bedroom and then went to the livingroom to close those. Meanwhile Sarah had woken up also and went to make sure my windows were closed (knowing I can sleep through almost anything). It was at that moment that I came around the corner...both frighted by the sight of unexpected dark shadows, we screamed (and then laughed once our hearts had stopped racing)! What a great bonding experience :)
Things were quite wet yet when we woke up. And, upon arrival at school, I quickly figured out that the school was not built for heavy rains. I knew it wasn't good that the water began filling the hall more and more as I approached my classroom. And quess what awaited me...a flooded classroom! What teacher doesn't want to see that an hour before class begins :) Thankfully someone was able get it out (they use giant squeegies to clean the floors) and I still had a half hour to prepare! Can you think of any better way to start a day?!!!
