Hey guys! Not too much excitement has happened
lately but here are the highlights:
Sunday Kate and I booked more for our spring
break trip to Italy. We now have an actual schedule to follow (in terms of
which cities and when) and have booked all the flights and hotels. Now, we just
have to find time to book the train tickets and any sight-seeing tickets we can
buy ahead of time.
Tuesday most of my car went to dinner and a movie
on the American base. Kendall, Taylor, Kate, Kay and I went to dinner on
American Alley-specifically Fuddruckers-then headed to base at the end of the
Alley and went to a movie. It was odd because it was a very small movie
theatre, the movie we watched was actually pretty recent, they played the U.S.
National Anthem before the movie started and, most importantly, nothing was cut
out. Kendall did not come to the movie because she had lots of papers to grade
but we all tried to convince her that it could wait.
Monday I went to jiu jitsu for the first time in a week by myself because Jess
said she had too much work to do. Neither one of us went Wednesday because there
was a Senior BBQ (Arabic version) after school that we were invited to and then
that was also the day we lost our car keys. Between when I got to school and
entered my room and around 3pm when we were putting stuff in our car, the keys
were stolen but I had no idea by who or when. Thankfully there were cameras in
my room so whoever took them would be caught.
Thursday morning, however, a student came into
my room before school and handed them to me. I didn’t ask for details because I
was just happy we got the keys back. However, that joy quickly wore off as it
was a short day when most of the students were skipping and teachers had a
professional development day. We had 2.5 hours of straight meetings because we
are implementing a new lesson plan template and we had to talk about budgets
for next year. That night, there was a small party in the room next to mine so
I joined and watched Despicable Me 1 and 2 and played Cards Against Humanity
while eating pizza. It was pretty fun to hang out with people that I see but
don’t talk to too much. After, my roommate and I went out with Mike, Leon and a
friend, Hussain, to a club. However, Jessica and I only stayed out until
midnight. When we came back, we found two people from the party earlier wanted
to go out too but no one else would go with them so we decided to go out with
them again for a little bit. We were out longer than I originally wanted but it
was still a lot of fun.
Friday night I went on a sort of date night
with Taylor. We went to a restaurant called Texas BBQ and Wafflehouse. Neither
one of us had been there yet but figured it would be pretty good. I thought it
was but I think Taylor has mixed thoughts on it. It was also a little expensive
for my taste. After that, we decided to go to the nearest mall and we went
straight to the top and played in the arcade. First we started off taking
photos-because what kind of a date is it without photos? Then we started
playing a whole bunch of little kids games because we could. We found the best
one to be similar to whack-a-mole except you have to beat this ghost’s head
with two soft pallet drum sticks on the beat that it gives you. We also found
some other ones like a big adventure simulator and Mario Kart to be quite
entertaining-probably more so than an adult should think. In the end we turned
in all of our tickets and got a kite. By this time, we had already been out for
about 3 hours so we quickly grabbed a few things from the grocery store the
floor below us and then headed home.
Today, I have just mostly been sitting around a
working a little bit. I’ll be headed to jiu jitsu soon so I will leave you
here. Ma Salama!
