Things have been going really great. The sessions we've had during orientation are actually really interesting especially one today about gender issues in Egypt. I have yet to find a kid in my program I dislike. We met our assigned language partners, and I think they could give me a really great opportunity to get ahead in my speaking. I am slowly getting acquainted with the new neighborhood. Today during lunch I found a really nice greenhouse (I LOVE PLANTS) run by a little person with a hump on his back near my school, so that was very exciting. I am feeling much better, and plan on attending a Nubian wedding tonight. But first A NAP!

Being Orientated
Frazzled and out of it, but good. My peers seem great. The apartment is huge and lovely. The program looks awesome, but more than I am used to dealing with in my Egyptian state of mind. While I am feeling much better, my sickness still persists, and so does general mental blerg-ness. While laying low right now is probably the best choice for my physical health, I think I need to get out of this bubble for my mental health as soon as possible. We did go out as a group to a fantastically cheesy pharaonic Nile dinner cruse. Sometimes it's fun to be forced to do the things you would never elect to do. The laundry machine is currently holding my clothes hostage for cycles and cycle,s so I hope they aren't ruined by the time I get the situation sorted. I need to go to bed. Hopefully more coherent blogs will follow.

Photo of the Week
Today my good friend Tristan is heading back to the UK. I'm gonna miss ya, man! This photo was from our mosque day last week (more photos may follow). He was obviously overjoyed to have his photo taken, but honestly he gives me that face a lot. I hope you have a safe trip, and I wish I could see you off!
