Today Is my second day of class. Woke up at 8 for class at 10 o’clock. Left by 8:30. On the metro and to the bus stop by 9. To school at 9:45. It’s a long commute to campus, but I have plenty of time to either sleep or study on the bus..
Got to class and entered to find that a few more students had moved up into our formal Arabic class. One was a kid from Seoul who had taken Arabic but seemed to have a poor grasp of the concepts. Another was a girl who was a little better but not by much. Additionally the other students that were more advanced had moved up. It was at this point I decided that I should move up another level. I went to the advisor and got moved up. I decided to move all the way up to intermediate. It’s a big jump but I think I should be able to handle it.
Went to colloquial. It went allot better, but there were still some people who had not taken colloquial. After class I went to check my schedule and discovered that I had gone to the wrong colloquial class. This explains why the class seemed a bit easy. Tomorrow I’ll go to the actual intermediate class… oops.
After class I went to the bus stop. The bus had just left as I arrived and so I had to wait. The next bus didn’t come for forty five minutes. I got on the bus and headed home. From Tahriir Square I caught the metro and then walked home. Got home at around 5 and started to study so that I will be ready for the Intermediate classes tomorrow. To be honest I’m a bit nervous about the move up.
Evan and I decided to get some dinner around seven. We took the metro into downtown and stopped at a small place called Tom and Basil (translated is onion and garlic). They served Koshri which we both got. It was good but not as good as the place near our hostel.
After dinner we rode the metro home. From there I studied till I fell asleep.
