One Week...



I can't believe language is over. After 9 months of Arabic study I was finally getting the hang of it. By the "hang of it" I mean I could finally understand most of what I hear on the street...and actually enjoying studying and learning new vocabulary. 

By no means does it mean I'm finished with Arabic. On the contrary, I have just tapped into it. But in a week I'll have to leave this wonderful city that I've begun to call home and move again to a new adventure. Where Arabic will start all over-new dialect-new vocab. goody. 

It will be hard to leave my friends here-those people I've come to love and who have become so much a part of my life this past year. It will be very hard. But I know who holds the future and in that I lay my confidence.

So now that vacation time with dad is over :(, it's time 
to get ready to move. For those of you who know me well, you'll know I'll probably procrastinate packing until the day before or the day of the big move. But let's hope not...I think this packing is going to be a little more demanding....
