June 30th, Wednesday: Sitting in the classroom during lunch Just ate my usual Falafel for lunch. The first half of the class was good, the second half is usually grammar. Yesterday was alot of fun. We went to Saufia which is a business type district that had a mall that was outside. We had really good Shewarma (the best I've had). It was made from beef, cooked over coals and in a flatbread wrap. We had Mountain Dew (with real sugar) as well and went by...

June 29th Lunch Break at Qasid I'm sitting here eating my Falafel Aadee and thinking that it has been awhile since I've written anything.

June 26, 2010 Sitting on bed in Apartment, the current time is 8:20 pm Ok, we never went to Rainbow Street last night. However, we went and ate at the Yemeni Place and tried some new dishes.

My ulcers were hurting really bad during dinner so I broke down, went t...

June 25 Friday 4:15 PM (Sitting in apartment after the roof) Last night was fun, we went to WasaT Al Balad (Middle of the country) and ate some humous, fool (beans), french fries, and falafel. I found a tea that I liked and it had a mint stem in it. We shopped around some at the local stores because the prices are better than in the tourist type places. We came back around 10 something, and I talked to mom on Skype. Afterwards Cameron, Adam, and I watched ...

June 24 Thursday sitting in the classroom I just bought Falafel Aadee (normal) and a Mountain Dew and am using this lunch break to catch up on some writing. Yesterday I woke up to find that Qasid e-mailed me and I made it into Level 3!! This is quite an achievement considering that I haven't had any real book-work in a classroom setting ever. We're going through the Al-Kitaab series of textbooks and I'm in Book 2 out of 3. This book is going to be realll...
