laziness, the answer to everything

hello world! i write to you from an amazing little moroccan cafe, one that has discovered the internet. its awesome, cause for 2 dollars a drink i can use their internet for as long as i like. sweet. be prepared for a nice long update, cause it has been a WHILE!
well, i switched families. that is probably the biggest news in my moroccan life. my old family, as much as i enjoyed them as people, were just really big downers. they had had too many students and so were not interested in me in any way, shape or form. they had a ridiculous curfew (10?!) and i was always left out of their lives. i would live in my room, not their house. i don't know if that makes sense, but its the best i can describe. so i decided to move out after the week long excursion. a week ago, i moved in with my new family, the el-Ouazzani family. they are amazing. literally. i have three older sisters (think 30s), two who are married and have kids, one who still lives at home. i also have a mom, who is elderly (think grandma) and a housekeeper who helps with the housework. my sister works all the time and my mom has been at 2 funerals so far, so people are rarely home, but i like it that way. they gave me a key, which lets me come and go as i want. they don't care when i'm home, as long as its before 11, because then the gate to the place i live will close up. now, 11 isn't much later than 10, but its nicer, as its more like everyone else's curfews.



note- the above was written a week ago. i´m posting it now. laziness, the answer to everything..
