Wednesday 3rd of August
I just got back to St Louis. I went to visit Semira for a week. For those who don’t know her, she used to be my roommate during her traineeship in Morocco. Living with her was a lot of fun even thought we did not see each other very often. When she left last year, I thought I will never see her again. But you know what; you never know what life can bring along, I never wanted to be here visiting the US, but here I am working, traveling around to discover this country, eating American food (thank god it does not show yet), living diversity, learning about a culture, meeting new friends and visiting old ones. It was very interesting to see Semira in her own environment, among her family and friends. I also had the chance to see Semira cousin again, Maryne (I hope the spelling is write), a wonderful girl full of energy. She lived in Morocco for a little while, and hosted us in New York.

I know now that I will keep on having friends from different countries, spread across the globe and renew this experience as much as I can.

Thursday 4th of August
I guess you all know how life is. Every moment(s) of happiness are followed by sadness, maybe to better appreciate them. Today, some trainees left for Tamarac Florida, I know it’s going to be sunny and maybe more fun for them to be down in Florida rather than Missouri; but I am still sad because circumstances did not give me the time to known them or to hang out with them as much as I wanted.
Until we see each other again (I hope it will be possible). Lucy, Sorin, Boryana, Vanessa, Alejandra, and Shady… Best luck for your new life.

I forgot the tiring part, I MOVED ie: We had to clean the house: walls, carpet, windows, floor, bathrooms, etc… that was tuff. But with Alessandro, Shady and Lena (many thanks to her for everything) help, we finally made it and got back a big chunk of our deposit.
