Woke up at 8 today. Metro… bus… school. Went to class early so that I could talk to my classmates and see how they felt about the homework. There are two kids from Berkley that I had gotten close to. Both of them felt similarly about the homework as I did. We talked to the professor and she told us that the reason the homework was so hard was because it was new vocabulary and she did not expect us to know it already.
I decided to sit through and see how I felt after another class. Class went well and I feel really comfortable when I am in class. The kids are about my level and all seem really nice. Max transferred into this class as well so I can use him as a resource for any help I may need.
After another day of MSA I decided to stick it out in the Intermediate Formal.
Went to lunch with Max and Henry (another guy from my class). We went to the Egyptian place in the food court. A foul sandwich is so cheap yet so good. Ate and talked about possible trips around the Middle East over our various breaks. We have three long weekends and the general consensus is that we should all try and see Dahab/Sharma Sheikh, Alexandria, and Luxor/Aswan. We’ll see what materializes as we get closer…
Ran back after lunch to take colloquial. It went well and our class had grown by two people. The six of us had our conversation class. We talked about apartments and took turns describing our apartments and what our ideal apartment would be. I really enjoy working with this group of people and look forward to colloquial much more than formal.
Took the bus/metro home. Got home and folded my laundry while watching some Arabic TV. After this I hit the books so that I could possibly get ahead of the curve. For dinner I ate some foul with Evan and then took a walk to break the monotony of constant studying. On the way back we picked up some eggs to hard boil. Figured that would make a good quick meal on the way to school.
Got back and finished my homework. After homework I started to hard boil my eggs. Had a little extra time so I called Sara and wished her good luck on her MCAT. Went to bed.
