Days 39&40&41&42: Marrakech / Essaouira
The most difficult question on every college application and in every interview is “Tell me about yourself,” because it’s the most complex and the most revealing.  Everything about the answer – the approach, the content, the length, the depth – are relevant to its meaning. Since arriving in Morocco 43 days ago I have struggled with communicating my identity. The problems range from purely...

Classmate blog: Asad →
Asad is from Connecticut and likes to think a lot, and then talk about what he is thinking about. One of our first conversations was about the meaning of religion, and since then we have adopted the habit of walking around in circles between classes while talking in circles about various subjects.
