A good day!

I should be doing Arabic homework now, but I just wanted to update you all on my good day. Wednesdays I have off of Arabic, so I planned to sleep in. Well I got up about an hour later than intended, but that still was nice. I did about an hour of language homework, before my roomate and I got distracted by youtube videos (which take forever to download here.) I had intended to do about 3 hours of homework, opps.

Then for lunch/dinner, I went to one of my coworkers homes for an ethnic meal. It was so refreshing to talk with them! Next I went to another meeting and got to meet some locals and play games. And finally, on my way home, I stopped at our local convience store, to talk to one of our neighbors that works there. I was able to say, "hello," answer "I'm good," ask "how are you?" ask how to say a word that I am having trouble with, and say "thanks, bye." And of course I had to buy something to justify going in there, so I walked away with a Dr. Pepper, a dark chocolate bar, and a peanut butter granola bar, and a big smile! (I am saving all the food for later though! Dr. Pepper is expensive here, but I made out with everything for $1.50)
So today was good!
