haven't posted in a while

It's been months since I've blogged, this place is really busy, and keeps you going. I experienced my first Ramadan in a Muslim country, it was interesting. All of the local resturants closed down from 7 in the morning to around 5-ish at night. Every class was moved up by 3o minutes so the day would end earlier. I have 8Am class so that translated to 7:30. it was quite difficult. I bought a keffiyah (the Arab head dress) pics of me wearing it can be found on facebook. I'm getting along pretty well, but I don't feel like I have any really close friends here. I have a large number of aquaintences, but no friends. classes are going well, but Arabic is really hard. I decided that I'm going to stay the whole year, I'll see everyone at Christmas though.
