My host dad and I went to Rose Mary's (the uniform store) to get a jacket. They finally got the jacket order in. So the jacket is the same color as the uniform, beige and gross "blue". The first size they pulled was a large. It's too big for me, but that's how I like my sweatshirts, the bigger the better. So I got it... It's 219 pounds. That's like $31 dollars. Why the heck is it so expensive, my goodness.
Friday:
I would say I slept in, because I kind of did. But recently I've been limiting myself to 8 hours of sleep. So I went to bed at 1 so I woke up at 9 which is kind of not really sleeping in. Anyway, after breakfast, I went to the cinema with my friend Merna. We saw the Maze Runner which was really awesome. Oh my gosh. Like I was suffering from withdrawal when it was over it was so good. I'm currently on chapter three of the book now.
After the movie we shopped. Or at least I shopped and Merna made sure I didn't get lost. I bought a ton of stuff. This includes a kids book called "أريد فيلا" which means I want an elephant.
I'm on page four...
Then I got home after we were out for hours. We didn't even know how much time had passed.
I changed into a new outfit and went to celebrate Boosy's birthday. We boated the Nile and ate cake. I fell asleep in the taxi on the way back. It was a long day.
Saturday:
I didn't do much. We didn't have school because it was the Islamic New Year, but my family didn't do anything to celebrate. So I mostly relaxed and hung out with my family.
Sunday:
According to my rule I only get eight hours of sleep. But when I woke up, no one else was awake, so I just chilled. And then I ate. And I chilled with my family. I studied for my math exam tomorrow and that's really all I did.
Now the past two days may sound boring, and maybe even a waste of time. But the thing is, I don't think it is. I help Nadia cook lunch, I cook for myself when no one's awake, I take sometime to rest and be by myself because if I don't, by the end of the week I'll be in a really awful mood, I study my Arabic flash cards, I sit on the balcony and just take in Cairo, and I help Nadia with chores and stuff.
Doing nothing in Cairo beats the heck out of anything in the United States.
Okay, so I decided on Thursday, I'm gonna keep track of what happens throughout the week and then upload on Sunday nights (Egypt time). But I want to know what you guys want to hear about. There are probably things you guys want to know, that I haven't talked about. So seriously comment ideas and questions and everything and I will try and answer them and talk about them and yeah. So do that or else I'm gonna run out of things to write about, and that won't be fun.
Seriously though, the Maze Runner was a-MAZE-ing. Seriously so so so good. And I bought over $100 worth of clothes and stuff, but now I won't be wearing the same shirt all the time.
Stay beautiful.
Byeeee
Corie.
