And the Final Week begins

I haven't posted in afew days, but that is because not a great deal has transpired. Thank you for your comments, thanks for letting me know that stuff about riding, Kristen, but Caitlin is right, I do look silly on a horse, and, lets be honest, if I actually became a good rider I would start dressing up as a knight every time I went riding!

Here things are about the same. My clothes keep getting dirtier, and I keep refusing to do laundry again. My feeding habbits are getting alittle better as I eat at American restraunts alittle more often than I did before. I know, its odd to come to Egypt and eat American food, but actually a number of the dishes are different, such as the MacArabia, an excellent thing they should definately sell in the US!

The most unique oppertunity I had since last post was to attend Church here for the first and only time while I've been here in Egypt. Suprisingly, there is actually a relatively decent communicty of LDS here in Cairo, but apparently we are in the off season because most of the members are here during the school year studying. I highly enjoyed the oppertunity though. A Nigerian, an American and a Ukrainian spoke in the main meeting, and they all sounded like speakers I would here back in the States! Its nice to beable to go halfway around the world, but find that the Church you belong to operates exactly the same way it does back in Cary NC. Actually, the Villa the Church owns that it uses as a building has the largest patch of grass I have seen in a yard in all of egypt. It was amazing, I didn't want to step on it because it was a sight I had grown so unaccostum to seeing.

We now only have 4 classes left before we leave for Alexandria for acouple days, and then I come home 7 days from now. Its probably a good thing because decentions are beginning to occur within the program, and I mean that some people are starting to not get along with other people very well. Its to be expected when we live in such close quarters with eachother for so long, its almost impossible to have alone time on this program. Its hard to believe, its very surriel, just like showing up here was. I'm pretty sure I will miss it once I've been back in the States awhile, but I have drunk from the Nile, and that means I will most certainly one day return!

This is probably the Lamest post on this whole blog, I apologize, not much interesting has happened. I am looking forward to coming home, and seeing my family and friends, I'll admit that now! I hope everyone back in the States is doing well!
