Nineteen Days
As many of you know, I was recently offered a teaching position in Ifrane, Morocco. The announcement went out on Facebook and shock, awe and congratulations were uttered with varying degrees of enthusiasm. While visiting my former school, I was able to tell my former students about this new crazy adventure. While most were a little taken aback by the news many didn't seem surprised once it had sunk in. It seemed like such a "Strem" thing to do. Clearly my name had become synonymous with daring. I was ecstatic to hear that. Now, I'm down to nineteen days left in the Pioneer Valley. Nineteen days left in in the apartment with the crazy roommate family that I was lucky enough to find. Nineteen days left in the place that I have called home for the last eight years. A week after that I will officially leave the continent and move over three thousand miles away. For the past few months, every time I think about it I end up with this stupid grin on my face. M
