School

Today I had my first day of school. The class this morning was entirely in Arabic which is a little intimidating, but we managed. Our professor was really nice and the class is going to be very helpful. I hung out with Arie, my roommate, in between classes and we hung out and drank coffee. Then we had our afternoon class and we had to ask for directions in to the Hospital in Arabic, but everyone on campus speaks English so it didn't go as planned. After I got back to the hotel, I had a cup of mint tea and then went next door to talk with Basaam. We're going to dinner tonight with a couple of students from Grand Valley who have been here since January. These are some pictures of me having coffee, the group and where we study, and my walk home and to the school. I'll have more pictures and more to say either Thursday or Saturday. Ma'a salaama!
