I left the Qalam wa Lawh apartment at
4:00 this morning and took a drive down to Casablanca to catch my
plane to Tunis. I haven't yet come to a decision on whether going to
Tunisia was a good idea or not. I'm not afraid for my safety or
anything, rather I just really miss the people with whom I was able
to spend the last seven weeks. I honestly can't imagine what my life
was like before I knew all of them. It just seems so much like they
are the friends that I have always had. While, I'm sure I will see
some of them again (hopefully soon) it still seems so daunting to
leave people who have been so instrumental in what has been some of
the best weeks of my life.
But now I'm sitting in a train station
in Tunisia waiting for a train to take me down the coast so I can sit
on a beach alone for a week and perhaps come up with some kind of
plan for, if not the rest of my life, at least the next couple of
months. I'll be on a plane to Egypt in 6 days, I'll see my dad in
about 2 weeks when he visits me in Cairo and, inshallah, I will be
back home in 5 weeks.
