IT IS NOT FAIR! Sure, Duke gets snow (twice) while I'm gone, and one day it cancels class...seriously. I love snow. I would say it wouldn't be so bad, but Cairo is not sunny, it is not warm, it has not been a pleasant day. I'm SO jealous. I am really missing Duke today because of it. Not to mention Brock informed me that I was missing the best day ever. I'm not encouraged to feel happy about my absence at all. I would have rather had a, "Be glad you aren't here, the weather is terrible." Sigh!
Some days it is just really hard to be away. Today definitely classifies as one of those days. However, on a higher note, I have good news. I have solidified an "interview" with the internship I wanted in Indianapolis. I say "interview" because being overseas makes these kinds of things difficult. The lady e-mailed me a list of questions and asked me to answer them in 3 pages or less. This seems easy enough except one of them is, "Tell me about the cross cultural experiences you have had, what you have learned from it, and of that what will you be able to apply as an intern/volunteer?" I could fill up 3 pages with this answer alone. I'm debating, should I tell them about the man with a knife, or the man who rode on our taxi? LOL!
I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much for this internship, but I can't help it. I feel like I'm perfect for this job and that it is perfect for me. She even told me I would be working with a number of their programs, so I wouldn't have to be doing the same thing everyday. And that is a great thing for me, because I get bored pretty easily. In fact I'm even getting bored of the Arabic language. Sad day.
Well I need some rest so I will have energy for another day. Happy Monday, happy snow day!

Despite what Brock says, it was not the best day ever....cold and wet...gross is more like it. And anyway, a best day ever can only happen when we're all together. You weren't here so it doesn't count. And don't worry, we'll have lots of real best days ever when you get back! I miss you!
I hope that you get the internship. I will say a prayer for you about it. I am sure that your parents would be thrilled for you to be that close to home once again!
