Turkey and Egypt

I'm not entirely sure where I left off. But Thursday was a bunch of orientation then a bunch of waiting. I waited at my gate for about three hours. Then the plane wasn't too bad. I watched shows and movies, and I slept and ate. Then I waited in the Turkish airport on Friday for about 6 hours. Then slept through the entire plane ride to Egypt. From the sky Egypt is super bright. There's lights everywhere. When we landed I found my way through the airport. And through customs. I honestly don't know how I did it. Then my family met me and I came home. 

The main thing you need to know about Cairo is that it's hot and loud. Yesterday I had little energy to do anything. I only unpacked half my suitcase and then I fell into bed. Once I was in bed it was hard to fall asleep because it was hot and loud. Lots of honking and barking and engines roaring and laughing and yelling and holy crap. I woke up in the middle of the night a couple times and then it was again hard to fall asleep. At about five I woke up to something pretty cool. I woke up and this guy was singing in Arabic on a PA system. I'm guessing it was the call to prayer. 

My host mom came in and gave me like a sheet as a blanket. Then I woke up at about 8. It was a pretty hard night last night I'm not gonna lie. Data doesn't work on my phone and there's no wifi in my room so I'm in the living room, finally connected to wifi. 

Last night I hadn't heard anything from my family and it made me miss them so much. But now I'm connected to wifi and everything is good. I have orientation in about three hours, then I think I'm all set. 

I don't know what I'm gonna do for the next two weeks before school starts. 

I hope you are all doing well. I love and miss everyone. Okay.
