"Maybe Someday" by the Cure

Welcome to my blog. I am a week away from departing for Philadelphia and subsequently to Morocco. To keep with the title of the blog and in an attempt to be somewhat distinctive from the 500 other blogs about PC Morocco, I have decided to try and integrate a song into every post that is reflective of my experience.

The question I am asked the most about leaving is a hog-wild "Are you soooo excited?". Upon which I usually give a disappointing "sure" or I try and unconvincingly fake it with "OMG you can not even begin to believe how so". Sometimes my response is even further exacerbated when my mom decides to tell everyone she encounters about my plans. No mom, the clerk at Bose does not need to know where I am going precisely because I do not want his gambling advice (Morocco is slightly different from Monaco). Typically in these pre-depature conversations, everyone acts as a PC and Moroccan expert, informing me on what to expect based on their experiences of traveling in Kenya or their best-friend's sister's roommate's PC experience in the DR. In response, I act like a naive and ignorant newly hatched chick who just signed-up on a whim, because it is the nice thing to do.

I never really knew how to honestly answer this question until recently I was driving in my car listening to some rare Cure tracks when Maybe Someday acoustic remix came on and there is one line that sums up how I feel at this point. "Get too scared to jump if I wait too long." It has been over a year since I applied so I have been waiting a long time. During which my excitement has slowly decayed and my fright has increased. With all that said, Maybe Someday actually will be next week and I am starting to get excited again.
