Viva Las Vegas: Grade School Friends and Les Miserables
http://citygirlcountryboy-anna.blogspot.com/2013/04/grade-school-friends-and-les-miserables.html
The City Girl and The Country Boy. Monday, April 15, 2013. Grade School Friends and Les Miserables. Another weekend has come and gone. There sure are flying by! Now if only the work weeks would fly by, but who am I kidding? I only have 6 days left at this job before the packing starts. It was good to catch up with the girls, as I do not think I'll be seeing them for a long time! Tear* After we were done, I hung out with my parents for a little while before going home. Saturday morning, Garrett and I did ...

Sometimes in Morocco: October 2010
http://colingettle.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 24, 2010. Before reading further, BEWARE. This entry is long. It is tedious. And frankly, it is maybe quite boring. But that is just, like, my opinion man. That is just a preface; an “I told you so” if you start fading part way through it and want someone to blame. I relinquish myself of the blame. With that said, I admit that the idea for this post was stolen from other PC bloggers. Their responses to the always asked question, “so…what is it that you do everyday? I hope to meet with the...

Sometimes in Morocco: January 2011
http://colingettle.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. Peace Corps is hard work? Friday, January 28, 2011. I suppose everyone has a memory of their first Christmas away from home and family. They remember where they were and what reason it was that resuluted in their being away. I imagine for some, it was a welcome change and for others sort of, well, devastating. For me it was neither. But it was strange. Normally, by no decision of my own, I am forced into a Christmas “mood.” Musac (sp? One day we visited one of Belgium’s ol...

me graves in morocco: Silence and Sound
http://megravesinmorocco.blogspot.com/2011/10/silence-and-sound.html
Better than a thousand useless words is one word that gives peace. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. They say the words, their eyes are glazed over. It hadn't quite connected that these words are used to describe things and the subject pronouns are the English verb "to be". The verb "to be" has no Arabic equivalent, so I try to break it down into simple sentences for them: I am a teacher, you are a student, the teacher is me, this is my book, this is our classroom.

Better than a thousand useless words is one word that gives peace. Sunday, February 20, 2011. A Dialogue Between A Humanist Moroccan and a Buddhist American. I think I'm going to give up on some bad habits." I said. Why do you want to do that? One, it costs money," I began, "And when I wake up the next morning, I usually think to myself, "So, you really paid money for that? Okay," he said, "But are you just going to stop buying it, or are you stopping completely? So, you're still Buddhist? Yes, I am.".

Sometimes in Morocco: Where's the rain?
http://colingettle.blogspot.com/2012/01/normal-0-21-false-false-false.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Rain Day upon day of foggy, moist, freezing drizzle. A persistant wet that leaves mold on the walls of my house, ice on my floor, clumps the salt in its shaker, and leaves my hands constantly and painfully in a state of raw numbness. As of today, the prayers are yet to be answered. They are building and building. I’ve been told that God punishes his people for their sinfulness. Is that what’s happening now? Will the rain come only with repentance and reform?

me graves in morocco: The Lessons Learned
http://megravesinmorocco.blogspot.com/2011/10/lessons-learned.html
Better than a thousand useless words is one word that gives peace. Monday, October 31, 2011. Lesson 1: Do not be afraid to ask questions. Asking questions is how we learn about things. It does not make us stupid; it makes us curious. We have been taught to be self reliant, but this is a lie; everything is interdependent; everything relies on one another. The best thing to do in order to relieve ourselves of doubt is to be willing to ask question. Lesson 9: Bureaucracy sucks. However, it is necessary&...
