45 days, questionnaires, and final dentist appointments

45 days! It's hard to believe how quickly everything is starting to go by, but there it is. 

Alexis had her final, final, final dentist appointment this week, so we both have everything finished and turned in and perfect.

We also just submitted our questionnaires about homestay preferences and language learning. The TL; DR is that we had to write a strange version of a personals ad to our future homestay families, and that Arabic is going to be difficult, but at least we'll know Arabic.

Counting down

Obviously we haven't actually, you know, experienced Peace Corps yet, but I feel like I understand why everyone says that the hardest part is waiting.

We have 51 days left, and I'm sure they'll fly by, because the last 50 were gone in a blink, but it feels like forever. It still feels like we have so much to do, but then there's also hardly anything left for us to do. If we weren't so excited, I would call it a mess, but the anticipation gives us something to hold on to. I also get the feeling our friends are just ready for us to go so we stop bringing every conversation back around to Peace Corps, Morocco, packing, or any of the other subjects that we've been talking about with more and more regularity.

If anyone wants a nice giggle at how challenging the Darija (might) be for us, look at this link. It'll be fine, right?
