Birthdays and Haflas


So we had our final exam on Wednesday, last legitimate day of class. It was exciting but somewhat disheartening. We're all going to miss Hassnaa. "Meegul...Habibi....b'il Arabee...I will throw this at you..." Thankfully we had something to brighten up our day, Jackie's 21st birthday party. We got her cake and then all went out on a nice party boat ride down the Nile. There was dancing, singing, and most of the time the motor on the boat worked. After that there were some more birthday activities and then we called it a night. Great success.

Today we had a hafla in arabic class. We wished Hassnaa a fond farewell and reminisced and such. The Photo/fluids kids left too. There are a couple we're really going to miss (like the ones who inspire Munch and Bagel airport wrap ups). Eventually, we went to Bora Bora for dinner again and it was just as excellent. Caitlin and I managed to get two Penne Arabiatas this time. We met a bunch of Rob's Egyptian friends and made some great friends from a group of kids from Michigan. The Michigan kids were a ball to hang out with. it's really nice finding other english speakers going through the same thing you are. Overall, one of the best nights.
