I've gotten to the point in my stay here where I'm starting to screw up my English as I speak. That would be a good thing if my Arabic was improving a lot, but that's not happening too much either. I feel like pretty soon I'll start sounding like Helen Keller...

I haven't posted in a while because not many new things have been happening. I go to the beach pretty often to study and hang out. I pretty much stopped swimming there after getting attacked by a trash bag. My cousins here let me drive their cars! It's really awesome and tons of fun. It really feels like a video game, but you only get one life and the mistakes have bigger consequences. It's really cool being able to drive in between lanes and pass people anywhere you want and use the horn every few seconds. I drove on a three lane highway that somehow got turned into 6 lanes.

For loving soccer so much, it sure is hard to find somewhere to play. There was a group of about 14 of us, and we went to AUB (another university here) to try and play, but they kicked us out because we weren't students there. So we come back to our campus, and start to play in the tennis courts, and get kicked out again because the courts are for tennis. So we play in the center of campus where there is a huge open area, and get kicked out again for no reason whatsoever. We ended up kicking the ball around in the dance room inside the gym.

I haven't taken many pictures lately so I don't have much to entertain you guys with. Here's a picture of what I'm eating at the moment:

Nutella and potato chips. I hope my mom doesn't see this. I don't have much to eat in my apartment and can't really go out at 3am so I make due. My roommate eats the Tang powder with a spoon, so at least I haven't gotten to that point yet.
