Hello!

Wow, I feel like I've done so much since the last time I posted that I'll never be able to catch up! Reminds me somehow of my sleep schedule too... ;) Aaahhh the life of a college student, especially one in a culture where everyone is up until two in the morning! Crazy.

So to clear things up, I'm not sick of posting on this blog like so many of you were led to believe per my last post. What I am sick of is the interface of this site when I upload pictures, so from now on I will just have text here and then a picture link that takes you somewhere else where my pictures will be, ok? Calm down everyone. ;) You'll need to click on the picture in the future. I do appreciate your concerns and comments though, it's nice to know how people are doing :)

What has happened in my life since the last post:
1. WENT TO THE PYRAMIDS! and inside the middle pyramid. and rode a camel. and went horseback riding for two hours in the desert surrounding the pyramids. all in one day. Forget medical school, I'm just gonna ride horses for the rest of my life.
2. Took a three day trip with my group to the Siwa Oasis, about a 10 hour bus ride from Cairo, in the Sahara Desert, close to the Libyan border. Went on a desert safari, including hot springs, coooooooold lakes, palm trees, sand boarding, and sleeping under the stars. AMAZING.
3. Was more harassed, in an actual scary way, walking along the Nile in an one hour period than I have been my entire time here.
4. Am currently spending a week staying with a Muslim family, and had the immense opportunity to attend an Egyptian wedding last night!

Alright, catch your breath, that was a lot for me to even just write that. Nest week we're going on a 4 days cruise up the Nile by Luxor and Aswan, going to the Valley of the Kings and such. I am feeling so incredibly blessed.

So I'm going to post individual posts about each one, hopefully I won't fall too far behind.
