Bragging Rights

Today was just another rather uneventful day learning Arabic, working out at the gym, getting offered to free tutor session by a new Arab-Israeli guard- who then proceeded to show me pictures of himself and his pitbull on his phone (awkward... especially since he kept on repeating,what seemed to be a comforting mantra, that the dog was his best friend...not the best pick up line, bro).

Anywho, what I really wanted to post about is my 98% I earned on my Arabic midterm. Normally I hate telling anyone about my grades, but this may be the most proud I have been of an exam in a LONG time. In addition, my Arabic professor told me that if I don't continue with Arabic it would be a mistake because I am "fantastic" at reading it and my comprehension is "impeccable". I think those superfluities were the ESL coming out, but nonetheless I am pleased and wanted to share my good news.

At this moment I am headed out the door with some people from the program to go to a restaurant/bar/pub thing for celebration on our hard work...it is supposed to have a fantastic beach view.

Tomorrow will be just another mundane day, but on Tuesday I set sail A.K.A. take a 2 hour bus ride to spend the day in the Golan Heights! Woo Hoo

I am actually the crazy cat lady, send help!
