YAY! This is what I woke up to this morning. I had an e-mail saying I have been offered the internship I really wanted. This is great news, but... Why is there always a but? Anyways, I can only take this internship if I find a cheap place to live, so please keep it in your prayers. If you know of any options, I will gladly take ideas on top of prayers. I really want to take this opportunity because I think it may help give me an idea about what I want to do with my life.
In other news, I got a package from my family. I LOVE MAIL! Easter candy and a puzzle book was more than enough to get me distracted, fat, and perfectly happy. I got a new supply of my favorite pens, and my dad added his own special gift. He thought since we have had a mouse problem in our dorms, I could use a mouse trap. It was pretty hilarious, because the mouse trap was even declared on the customs tag on the envelope.
Some things in Egypt just don't make sense at all. Today, I had one of those experiences. I tried to call my friend to see where I was supposed to meet her, when I got a recording in Arabic. I was quickly transferred to a man, who was speaking to me in Arabic. Too bad it was Egyptian Arabic, and I had no idea. So, I used my resources. I asked a random girl on campus to help me. Turns out my phone company wanted conformation of who I was. I could understand if I had a contact, but I purchased a phone, I buy minutes, I really have no serious ties to the phone company. They asked my name, my birthday...whatever, fine. Then they wanted my passport number. Are they crazy?! 1) I don't carry my passport around w/me. 2) I will not give out that type of info to a random man on the phone. It was an argument, and I may or may not be able to use the phone again, we will see. Crazy, pointless Egypt. You would think at some point I would stop being surprised.
I'm so excited about March Madness! I have created a bracket named Race for the Camel. You should join it on ESPN.com. The password is Egypt. The winner gets an Egyptian Camel. Happy Monday!

For a minute, I thought the Exodus summer internship program would be in Egypt, but then I realized it isn't in Egypt. Good thing, too--I'm pretty sure the Exodus was what happened when people LEFT Egypt, so it totally makes sense for you to do that internship after you LEAVE Egypt! Oh, I do crack myself up sometimes! ;)
I will pray that you find a cheap place to live. You do know though that cheap places come with rats, roaches, and other creatures. sure do miss you. Can't wait till you get home.
Awesome on getting the internship. I will pray for a place for you to live to come about, and soon! At least you are already used to mice by now......so, if cheap = mouse problems, you are ready! I tend to use the traps that don't kill the mouse though :) I guess I am too soft. I am guessing the one your dad sent has a nice snappy spring on it!
With Brock's family members looking for a place for you to live, I'm sure you'll end up with something that doesn't have TOO MANY roaches, mice, and other various creatures. Maybe rabbits, though--they're cute. ;)
