"I'm done with school forever." -Mika

I agree with these sentiments exactly. I think we are getting "SPRING BREAK MUST COME!" blues here at AUC. Two weeks left to go and I think I have worked harder today than I have in a while. I even took an accidental 2 hr. nap. I somehow managed to be super productive today. Good thing because on top of ridiculous Arabic homework, I have a paper due on Tuesday. I was proud of my Arabic accomplishments today. Translate poem from English-Arabic, translate an article on poetry Arabic-English...good times, or something like that.

Other than Arabic, I talked to my family for a long time, so that was good. I got to hear about basketball, prom dresses, and college options. I miss home a lot sometimes. I also decided to hand wash the scarves I bought yesterday because they smelled disgustingly of Cairo. When I got done rinsing them out in the bathroom sink, the sink was black. It was DISGUSTING. I think that is what my lungs will look like before I get home. No wonder that pollution makes me sick all the time. Some things I love about this city, other things I could definitely live without: car horns, verbal harassment, pollution, cats. (Sorry cat lovers, but Egyptian cats are frightening.)

Sorry it is so short, but I have very little to talk about. Update, I turned in my poem, who knows how it was. 2 weeks until Turkey with Ted and Mika :). 2 months until I come home :). That's all...Happy Sunday!
