Today was a busy day in school. Only have three classes, but two tests.
The first test was a reading test in media class. We read articles and answered pertinent questions on the article. It went pretty well, and I understood most of the content. There was one article that was significantly harder than the others… I guess we’ll see how it goes.
The other test was in Formal vocab. Felt good going into it and after it. Then we corrected it in class. I made a few stupid mistakes that brought my grade down. A bit disappointing, but I know my mistakes and can learn from them.
The rest of the day everyone was buzzing about tonight’s parties and Halloween festivities. Some of us had decided to wear our costumes around school today. I had my mullet, trash stash, tank top and tight jeans… as dirty euro as I could pull off in short notice. Most other people had chickened out and didn’t wear their costumes to school. I was however excited to see Ben, Mike, Ruben, and Wills run around the school and terrorize students in their cavemen costumes. Absolutely hilarious to watch them run through ‘Gucci Corner’.
The unfortunate thing about my costume is that it is weird enough to look strange but not ridiculous enough for people to automatically discredit as a costume. Some people definitely thought I was just trying out a new haircut. I also got allot of Egyptian stares of disbelief.
Anyways colloquial went by without any excitement. We spent most of the class talking about plans for the weekend.
Took the bus home and relaxed for awhile. Did some homework to get ahead of the weekends workload.
Max and I had agreed to meet up later so he could grab some last minute accessories for his costume and then go to the parties together tonight. We met downtown at around six and grabbed him some stripped shirts and pants. He was going as a picnic table.
We headed back to Max’s place and changed into our costumes. Upon his suggestion I dropped Gunther and embraced the redneck. Pretty much the same costume with a huge belt buckle and a plaid shirt (compliments of Max).
From there we headed over to Jasmine and Corley’s to join a big group and head to the party. Stopped by there for an hour and waited for the girls to get all changed and take their pictures… usual girl stuff. Eventually we got going and were on our way to the West Point apartment.
The guys from West Point have a really nice apartment on the top of a building in Zamalek. It is practically a penthouse with its own private roof. There were nearly 200 people at their apartment. I stayed for a few hours. Had a few beers and socialized with friends.
Decided to leave shortly after midnight. I don’t spend allot of time in Zamalek, but I thought I had a good handle on where we were. I decided to walk to Tahriir and catch a cab from there. However, fifteen minutes later I realize that I was lost. I hailed a cab a took it home. I was nowhere near where I thought I was. It looked familiar, but apparently was in a different area of Zamalek.
Got home and called Sara and the family. Went to bed late.
