My friend Kelsey once made up a song about hating Egypt when she was frustrated about the way things were handled in the country. I don't really think I hate Egypt, but today it has been really close. I just got back from this amazing vacation in Turkey where the weather was beautiful, the sights were interesting, the scenery was green, and the company was pleasant. Enter Egypt. 1)Man overcharges me 15 LE (really only $3, but it is the principle not the price) 2)Cab driver doesn't have proper credentials, get stopped by cops twice, must take round about way, cab driver expects more money, yells when we don't agree, thrown out of AUC by security guards. 3) ID card that is the only access to my room has deactivated, can't reactivate until tomorrow morning, walk a mi. off campus through the desert to fix the stupid problem, as if 4 classes didn't make my day busy enough 4) bitten by 2 mosquitoes. So that has been my "pleasant" return to Egypt so far. Right now, I hate Egypt, I hate Egypt.
I am very tired because it is very late/early and I have a big day tomorrow. Miss you all. Happy Monday!

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you!
But you got to talk to me, Sarah, Katie, Stephanie, and Emily today! Just remember all the fun we had when you're stressed tomorrow. Also, hopefully you will have your care package, and I KNOW that will make you smile/laugh for multiple reasons. I miss you! :)
Megan, I am still waiting to see your pictures from the palace and the Greek Orthadox Monastary, that you promised from Saturday. I sure have enjoyed your trip to Turkey. Jim
I have now caught up on your blog again. Unfortunately, this means I have not finished the paper that is due tomorrow that I need to finish tonight, so that I can start one of my two papers that are due Monday tomorrow, before I go get my hair cut with Brock, shop for gifts for the seniors with Dave, and attend all the Senior Honors Banquet festivities. Thank for the last half-hour of entertainment and information, though. I look forward to having more time to pester you, once I finish these last three papers by Monday. -Sigh!-
