Woke up to make class at seven. Did the same routine as yesterday. Walk to the metro, metro to bus, bus to school…. Went into the intermediate formal class. The class was very quick paced but the teacher seemed very understanding and worked with all the students to ensure they were on track. All the students seemed to be about my level. Both classes seem to be fine and the students assure me that they are about my level.
During the break I went to the bookstore and picked up my books. I also went to pick up my bus pass.
After the hour break I went to my first intermediate colloquial class. It was really good because they knew what they were doing and we could actually converse in Arabic. Really enjoyable.
After class I went to the print shop to get the two books that I needed from there. I went with Mikey another kid from ALI. Afterwards we got some foul from the cafeteria and walked to the bus stop. I took the bus/metro back home. Once at home I called Sara. Talked for awhile before I decided to hit the books.
I got a call from Kevin and him and I decided to meet up and get some dinner. We went to Abu Shocka a place in between our apartment and his. Service was horrible but the meals where ok. I tried the stuffed pigeon. Very interesting flavor, but not much meat. Kevin and I talked for awhile and he is having second thoughts about his job teaching at a local school. Apparently there is allot of red tape to work around and it is really starting to bug him. Went back to my apartment
Also did laundry for the first time at my place. Really weird machine and hard to get used to. You have to press a button to drain the water; otherwise you will get a torrent of water gushing out onto your feet. It made doing the laundry much more exciting… Have no dryer so I put the laundry on a drying rack on the balcony.
In between loads of laundry I started to do the homework for formal. Oh man! It is really really tough. I felt fine in class today but this homework is making me have second thoughts. I hope it isn’t all like this or I am in big trouble. I’m gonna have to talk to some people tomorrow and make sure I’m not the only one feeling this way… otherwise I may need to drop down.
Went to bed.
