Williston = Long Vacation.

I don't have a job yet, so I've been killing time by practicing my golf game. It really doesn't help that I hang out with Ben all the time, who is also unemployed. I'm going to have to find a job simply so I can supply my need for the plush green links of northwestern North Dakota. It's also been insanley beautiful weather the past week so I gots to take care of that.

Other news: I've lost a grand total of $57 playing poker with my friends, I've showered only every other day, I ran into some great old friends that I haven't seen for years, I've been drunk a couple times, I think Ashli is dead, Tara looks HOT in her sexy black dress, and Shelby has never been happier.

Well, I'm in Williston. Like it or not, this will be my new town of residence for the next 3 months. I plan on job hunting tomorrow, but first I think I'll enjoy a round of golf with Ben and maybe Pete. It's going to be good to hang out with some of my old friends. There are a few people here who I spent a lot of time with during high school and even some of junior high, so it should be interesting.
Ben and Margot helped with my packing and moving. They are both so great and I truly appreciate their help. I couldn't have done it without them (so those of you who REALLY didn't want me to leave Fargo, you now know who to go after).

Wish me luck with the job hunt.

Some people have asked me where Morocco is, so I've decided to post a map showing...well...where Morocco is.
As you can see, it's located on the North-Western coast of Africa, directly south of Spain, across the Strait of Gibraltar. Al Akhawayn Unversity is located just outside of Ifrane. Ifrane is not on this map, but if you locate Fez in north-central Morocco, Ifrane is located to the south of Fez.
The area is moutainous and pretty heavily forrested.

So here it is. This is how I will try to communicate with people while I'm away. It seems to me to be a little easier to maintain a site where friends and family can visit to check up on me, rather than to keep sending emails and pictures. This will be easier for you to handle, since you won't be forced to hear what I'm up to unless you really want to know. This will also be easier for me since I won't have to keep sending mass emails to people, and I won't have to try to decide what to send to certain people, and what not to send to other people.
I hope you enjoy this site. I plan on posting pictures and possible even video footage of what I see and do while I'm away.

I love you all, and please feel free to comment on anything you want.
