More Peace Corps stuff

Anyone else in love with these little xtra normal videos? They crack me up, regardless of the subject matter. Of course, this video managed to strike a chord with me for obvious reasons!



(If you haven't seen the xtra normal video on "quantitative easing" yet, you are missing out. My favorite part is "the ben bernanke" and his beard.)

Knowing that I am going to Morocco has really helped ease my more neurotic side. I know it may all change, but it is really nice to have a plan, even if it isn't a solid one. I decided to tempt fate this week. And by that, I mean I decided to risk jinxing myself. I went out and bought a French textbook and an Arabic textbook. I'm going to attempt to be fluent in French before I leave, and at least be able to read Arabic and speak a tourist level of it. Of course, by doing this, they will change my placement and send me to Nicaragua or Thailand.

I can see that I am getting a ton of traffic referred to me from the PC Journal site. Hello and welcome friends! I'm curious, did anyone else attempt to learn any Arabic before going to Morocco?
