In Morocco some of the holidays depend on the moon. On our school calender, we had a break scheduled for this upcoming Monday and Tuesday. This was great because Sarah and I have a student we tutor who lived in Egypt and was going to let us stay at his house! However, on the day we were going to buy our tickets...the protests and demonstrations began. So plan B...the Western Sahara! Then on the day we were going to set up the rental car, the moon told us that the holiday was no longer Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday and Thursday! Thankfully we hadn't booked anything :) So now out current plan is to go camping near some beautiful waterfalls around Marrakesh.
And, since we were supposed to have school off on Monday, we celebrated Valentine's Day on Friday. According to the number of flowers, chocolates, cards received (all a part of a fundraiser)...I am the #2 most popular secondary teacher. However I'm pretty sure the fact that I'm young and single is one of the major reasons for all the love :) A student told my principle the Thursday that his girlfriend's initials were LS!!!*
*Note to reader: I am NOT dating a high school boy...just in case you were concerned :)
