Woke up at 7:15 ready to conquer school. That was until I got out of bed… then I wanted to go back to sleep. Oh well, what else is new. Got ready and walked to the bus with Evan.
Jumped on the bus and studied some media vocab. Got to school earlier than usual so I walked up to the food court. Unfortunately the only thing open was McDonalds… However, I was starving so I gave in and grabbed a sausage McMuffin.
Walked over to class after my breakfast. A few people were missing from class today.. probably a mixture of the sickness that’s going around and the festivities of the previous night. Max was telling us of his adventures. Apparently, he practically started a riot in downtown. Partially due to the fact he went with two scantily dressed girls… Egyptians are usually good about dealing with American girls, but when they are riled up…. Apparently the girls were getting groped and Max stepped in and eventually traded blows… thus inciting a brawl/riot.
I can’t say that my adventures were that fun, I just joined in the partying and then went back… now I feel lame. Maybe next time I’ll start a riot.
Anyways in media we did some review exercises to prepare for the next day’s test. We also got assigned another test for later in the week. That makes four on the week.
During the break I walked to the track and went to the locker room. However, I had apparently forgotten my workout clothes on my bed, and I was not about to run in my jeans. Walked back towards the middle of campus. Grabbed a snack and sat down to do some homework and review for colloquial.
Went to colloquial and was one of two people in attendance. The teacher decided to drop the lesson plan and give us a private lesson of sorts. We just talked about whatever we wanted. Which of course was the soccer match and the ‘riots’ that followed.
Caught the Bus back to Tahriir after class. Read from the book of Leviticus. Evan got off near our apartment, but I had to go downtown to get some paperwork to file for my tourist visa. I got off at Tahriir and spent the next five minutes looking for a place to get passport photos. I eventually found one and went in. It was an all purpose studio, but that by definition fit my purpose. Ten minutes later I walked out with 12 passport photos for 6 dollars.
Still needed to get copies of my passport, but I could do that by my apartment. Walked down Kasr El-Eine to my apartment. Went up and did homework for the next couple of hours.
At dinner o’clock Evan and I walked down to the bakery and grabbed some bread for the next couple days. He wasn’t feeling hungry so I grabbed some take away pasta and we both walked back toward the apartment. At the apartment Evan took the groceries and I walked to the nearby Xerox center to get my passport copied.
Ate my pasta while working on my project outline. I have decided to talk about nuclear power in the Middle East. An interesting topic, but I have begun to realize that I don’t know any of the required vocab. I guess this project will force me to learn it. The outline took me the better part of two hours. Afterwards I finished the next day’s homework and got ready for bed.
Gave Sara a call and went to bed.
