Tiring Day~

It was cold, very cold. It had been raining a little bit on the hike. We hiked for hours, eight or nine, including breaks and lunch. We walked through Berber villages, and learned about the geography, and how their education is like. When we got to the house we were supposed to stay at we played cards, and talked to the people in our groups. When it got dark, me and a couple of friends went out on the terrace, it was dark, but we could see the lights of the village covering the mountains, as if they were fireflies. We could see children running into their houses to eat dinner, and farmers leading their mules back to where they spend the night. The sky was perfectly covered with stars, and the moon was great too. Up in the mountains, the moon is closer so you can see more details then usual.

When the teachers told us to come and eat dinner, we walked back inside and ate whatever the cooks had made, as usual it tasted great. All of us were so hungry we didn’t even care what it was, we just wanted to eat. The room we were sitting in didn’t have any doors leading out onto the terrace, instead it was open, so you could see the dark shadows from outside. After the teachers had given out plates, and everyone got their food, there was silence, sweet silence, but only for a couple of minutes, not more. Most of my classmates were loud and were laughing the whole time, but the ones who wanted it to be quiet sat on the other end of the room.

When we were done, all of us just sat and listened to the teachers talk about the following day, some people were asleep on the couches not listening, and most people were dragging themselves out of drowning into thought. We were all too tired to even stand up, but we had to, so most of us went to our rooms, and got our sleeping bags ready. Although we had to go to the bathrooms some were already asleep. I and a couple others who hadn’t fallen asleep, went to the bathrooms before we went to bed, the bathrooms were outside, and close to a farmers land. We tried to be quiet not to wake anyone up, and that was easy. After, we went up to our room, and layed in our sleeping bags, staring at the ceiling until we could see only our dreams.
