In procrastination...

So, I'm in the middle of reading this article about Afghanistan elections (الانتخابات افغانستان), but I needed some distraction, so I thought I'd blog for a quick second...

Nothing too exciting this week, classes, the usual. In the language and culture program, one of the students caught swine flu, so they get a few days off class, but we intense immersion kids have to power through thursday and sunday of class. I'm still not used to having class Sunday-Thursday, and I still get confused when friends in the States are enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon because that's 11 pm here when I'm trying to get my homework ready for my second day of class.

But I'm getting excited for my trip to Egypt in two and a half weeks. We'll be there competing in the International Model Arab League conference. Our delegation did pretty well at nationals in April this year, so hopefully this goes well too. I'm really excited for a week of pyramids and talking in ENGLISH!! Yay!
