From mid June to mid August, however, I will be. This is thanks entirely to the State Department's Critical Language Scholarship, through which I will be studying Arabic in Tangier, a city in northwest Morocco that is separated from southern Spain by only the narrowest part of the Strait of Gibraltar.
And as I will be there for nine weeks, undoubtedly experiencing exciting and life-changing things, I will naturally need a place where I can remind my friends and family on a daily basis of how much more awesome my life is than theirs. This is that place.
Some of you may remember my similarly-titled blog from last summer with mixed emotions. Rest assured, I promise this year to not spend an excessive amount of time obsessing over any of my teachers. (*cough*.) This will not happen.
That said, I hope you all tune in. It's going to be a lot of fun, and you can live vicariously through me! The journey begins June eleventh. I will see you then.
P.S. Comments are lovely, and if you leave them consistently, I may just spend extra on your souvenir...

See you next month!
