This week was my birthday, among other things. I’m not sure if it was because of that, or if it was a coincidence, but on Wednesday one of the students who works for CIEE and her home-stay came over to our apartment to cook dinner. They made something called “Upside Down”, which is thus named because it gets flipped over before serving. The dish was basically chicken and rice, with cinnamon and some other spices mixed in. There was also an eggplant and tomato salad, and a chocolate cake. It was nice to have a home cooked meal, as most of the stuff I have been eating is either at restaurants or involves putting things on pita bread.
Really, aside from that the rest of the week was not particularly interesting. Classes are pretty intense, especially Arabic, and I’ve spent most of my free time studying or reading. On Sunday and Tuesday my class has four straight hours, which is completely exhausting. I’m usually in bed by 10:00, which is a sharp change from home. We did get internet in our apartment last weekend, however, so that has made things a bit easier. Anyway, things have been going pretty well.
