So this entry going to be a little boring and short. It's really just here so there is something here. I've got a lot of stuff to write about, mostly about adjusting to Egypt, of course, but that's been somewhat hard and I don't want to dwell on it too much right now. Maybe on a day when I'm not feeling sorry for myself. Basically, I'm fine, I'm learning a lot and I think I will learn even more as time goes on. And the country girl has survived two weeks in the big Egyptian city (ok, so I can't really claim the country girl naivete, but it's sorta legit). In Sha' Allah (God willing) things will continue this way. Right now I miss America, friends, family, everything, hardcore, but I'm still happy here. I sort of hope that the time will fly, but I also hope I stop feeling this way soon. Anyway.
Also, the title of this blog is "No problem" in Arabic. I picked it because that's pretty much the thing I say the most while I'm here. I can't say too much, so it's good to have such a polite phrase ready.
Bye. love to all.
emma :) i'm so glad you decided to get a blog ^_^
ReplyDelete....i'm "following" you. creepy? lolol :D sorry i'm a little caffeinated/high on life right about now. MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY. skype again soon? LOVE.
Emma! Did you know that your name was the second most common white girl name among highly educated parents in the 90s? That is all I could think about while reading the last chapter of Freakonomics (and the fact that my name made the low-income, "low-end" white girl name list). Now, you may be thinking that I have trouble focusing on my reading, but the fact that I kept thinking about your name REALLY means that I miss you. That was a long-winded, albeit typical, response, but 'tis true. Hope you are well.
