Day 113

Sunday May 11th

Today I had a test on Chapter 2 in Arabic. Since today is a make-up day, I thought we had pushed the time back to 9:00 start date. So I woke up a little later, studied, and showed up to class at around 8:45. To my surprise class had started at 8:00. Oh well, I wasn’t going to sweat it, with sandwich in hand I started the test and finished 20 minutes later. It was a pretty easy test, but I am sure I made some stupid mistakes. After the test, the class went to Al-Azhar Park Al-Azhar park is an amazingly beautiful park built on what was a landfill. It lucks like they put in a bunch of turf and shrubs and trees. Its really well maintained and there is a lot of security to keep people from ruining it. This was a welcome change from the rest of Egypt’s treasures.

Afterwards we traveled back to AUC and got stuck in some terrible traffic; Enough for us to get out and walk. Apparently they just closed the street for some important person. Really annoying.

So after doing my homework, and heading back to the dorm I started working on the blogs. But on my way to Metro to buy some bread I saw this nest of big mo-fo cockroaches. They were disgusting. So much so, that I decided right there that I wanted a clean apartment. One where I wouldn’t have to deal with those nasty bugs. So I think I will room with Megan which will work well so that we can work together for DDC stuff.
