Quelques Choses Avant de Partir*

*A Few Things Before Leaving

OK, so this is just a quick little post before I ship out to Morocco tomorrow w/ my roommate Molly. We'll be traveling around for 5 days.
I haven't posted in a while, although I had been keeping up w/ my NYresolution (made egg and cheese burritos last week, here's a pic:



but unfortch this week I've been too busy recovering from the flu and packing to do much cooking, so I've had to let it slide.)

I am however all better and I'm super excited and ready to go on this adventure.

Lately I've been really busy. I went to a local rock concert w/ Molly and her boyfriend Andrew a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of fun and the music was great. A funny thing was the groups (Elzed and l'Hurlements d'Leo) were the kind to attract a lot of 15 year old goth and emo kids, and we hung out w/ them in the "mosh pit" area (although there wasn't really any moshing going on). Here's couple pics of the bands and Molly and Me enjoying the music.

Me and Molly!:



Then I went up to Lyon for the weekend with a group of friends. It was a lot of fun!
Then I caught the flu despite getting the regular flu shot AND the h1n1 shot.

After recovering, Molly, Andrew, our friend Zoe, and I went to Les Monologues du Vagin (the Vagina Monologues) which a group was presenting in town. This is a show usually put on around Valentine's Day in order to raise money and awareness for V-Day, a organization fighting violence against women. I had seen it before at Augie, so I easily recognized and understood the skits, and so I learned some interesting new french vocab for sure! It was a very fun and empowering night in Bourgoin!

And now like I said before, I am shipping out for Morocco tomorrow. I'll be sure to write a few blogs and post some pics after my return.
Love you all!!
Bis!
