"Thank the Easter bunny, BAK BAK!" -Mom

Thanks "Easter Bunny" for the wonderful candy. It actually made it to Egypt w/o even getting very smashed. Maybe just a little, but it is still completely delicious. I'm glad I got it today, because the time here in Egypt is continuing to be a struggle. So, apparently AUC decided to change its wireless network w/o informing anyone. Now we have to use the Student network. Doesn't seem like a big issue, except that you have to have an AUC email address to access it. Upon arriving to AUC, I was informed that getting an AUC email address wasn't necessary and more trouble than it was worth.

Last night, I had to have the internet to do my homework. I searched and searched, but couldn't get service anywhere. Finally I remembered I brought my ether net cord in case the wireless was too slow. I had to finish my homework in the uncomfortable chairs of the computer lab, but at least it got finished. It was really late then, so I didn't get to write on my blog, but hopefully none of you look until the morning. You are probably all getting up for church right about now anyways.

Tomorrow marks 4 weeks left. I can't wait to be home, see all of your smiling faces, go to church, drink milk, get a haircut, and just be comfortable. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Egypt, but as academics get harder, the university makes less sense, and the weather gets hotter, I can't help but want to be home. I miss you all. Happy Sunday!

Hmmm...I've been feeling the same way recently, "As academics get harder, the university makes less sense, and the weather gets hotter, I can't help but want to be home." I just wonder where home is, any more...sad to stay when everyone else leaves; sad to leave, too...Anyway, I hope things get better for you, kiddo!

HELLO MLS, This is not a comment from your posting, but just to let you know Taniesha did stand up in church during announcements and told everyone Megan said HELLO. I think everyone said HELLO Megan. Also, Linda says HI!!! Hope you get your internet back, it is so dark ages without internet. Blessings, Jim & Linda

21 years of wisdom I have bestowed upon you and I never get a quote. Is there nothing I taught you that is worth repeating? Only 4 weeks to go and your mom get quoted but does your dad?
I ask your mom who would get the first hug when you get off the plane. I have decided it is whoevr is holding the milk. I've got the milk Justin don't even think about it!

Love you, Dad!
