Mon. (31st):
Happy Memorial Day!
Not a holiday in Egypt so there was a serious lack of bbqing and I had to go to class. Bummer. I spent photo class doing more work on the pictures for my final book (the rough draft is due by Thursday.) and picking pictures for my section of the NU Photo website which will be up later this week, check it out! →

This afternoon was our last Arabic class,  Hasna taught us how to write our names in Arabic, which was pretty cool. Arabic writing isn’t based on the letters themselves, but sounds. So an Arabic word might look much shorter than the same word in English. My name is much shorter. I can sorta write it…sorta. It kinda looks like squiggles when I do it.
