I would just like to say: I am freaking exhausted.
Sunday was a big day for my host family. Hossam got married! YAYY!
I already talked a little bit about weddings in a previous post but I'm going to do it again. Egyptians party hard, man. And they do it without alcohol. I spent the weekend at my host cousin Amira's house. I got ready there and went with her, her husband, and her baby to the wedding party. When I got there, the dance floor was packed. All the guys decided to pick Hossam up and throw him around in the air. Nadia looked like she was about to have a heart attack.
The party was lots of dancing and food. I actually knew the bride and groom this time and took some pictures. Basically, by 3 AM I was back at Amira's tired with sore feet. (Heels are not always my friend).
After the wedding party, everyone gets in their cars and follows the wedding couple's car to their home. People are honking their horns, hanging out the windows, shooting fireworks, and ultimately being loud, obnoxious, and a traffic hazard. It was actually really fun. We didn't follow all the way to their home because we had a eight month old, but I got the idea.
When we got back I changed, ate, and went to sleep. I woke up at noon yesterday and watched MTV until Amira's friend came over. Then we went to this restaurant and hung out until I had to make my way back to Cairo. I got home and got to bed this morning at about 1 AM and got up for school at 5:30 AM.

I am seriously obsessed with this picture. I am, obviously, in the pink dress with the cute shoes and Boosy, my roomie/host cousin, is in the blue.

Bride and Groom doing something. I don't know what, but this is a picture I took by raising the camera up and zooming in trying to get at least one picture of them.
This is a picture I'd like to call: I don't know what to do with my limbs. It's just a OOTD picture. (Outfit Of The Day)
That is all I can manage to do right now, I seriously need to get ready for bed.
Good news: There is some Eid this weekend so I have Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday off which means FIVE DAY WEEKEND. I don't know what I am going to do. Maybe Egyptian Museum. Maybe going to look at mosques or churches or something... idk. Stay tuned.
Also, Katy Perry is coming to Egypt for her 30th birthday, or so I've heard. But she'll be in Luxor where all the historical stuff is. Luxor is like a nine hour drive away or something. It's a bummer because there's cool stuff there.
Two more days of school for the week.
It's also starting to cool down and it's amazing. Tomorrow is October. Um... that's insane. It's the season of all my favorite holidays that don't get celebrated in Egypt.
Last thing, I haven't had a burger in like a month and I'm really sad so I want everyone to eat a burger this week. Do it for me!!! Seriously, do it. If you're vegetarian, that's what veggie burgers were made for.
I love you. King Tut loves you. Have a good week guys. Mwah!
Learn something today.

Sounded like a fun wedding. How do you get to school? Is the public transportation good in Cairo?
