We started our 2nd week of our LAST semester today. Have I mentioned that I'm SO ready to get out of school? I mean, think of how badly you were ready to get out of high school or even college and multiply that by like...um...100 and then you have where I am right now.
Seriously, classes aren't so bad. We've got mainly advanced conversations classes and that's nice. And our class has dwindled to 7 people for the most part. That's better than it was! And Brad & I are together in class, plus our best pals are with us, too! Yay!
There's really only 2 classes that I'm not a fan of: Media Arabic and Formal Arabic, which is the reading/writing Arabic that's the same worldwide.
Media is a class where we study about conflict, protests, politics, terrorism, demonstrations - basically things that the Media covers. Blah. I'm not into that at all. And I don't talk about those things in English. Ask my Father. He'll tell you! :)
Formal Arabic, or Foos-ha as it's called in Arabic, has just gotten HARD. We've been taking Foos-ha every semester and it's just really difficult now the way this book is set up. Blah. We read these long passages in Arabic and then we answer questions about them. Blah, again.
But our other classes, Family Problems, Advanced Conversations, Field recordings, Cartoons & Commentary, and a Story class, aren't so bad!
Plus... we're done on June 14. That's 4 months and 2 days! WAHOO!
On a side note, I think I've watched Tangled every day for the past 2 weeks. I'm just saying...
And to update you on Lucy's 2 buddies: Grace and Alexis. Precious. We've gotten a lot of fun play time lately. And my trusty phone has captured some cute moments!
Playing in Lucy's tent
They like to run into the room and yell "Ta-da!" or "Surprise!"
Grace is such a big girl now!
Lucy and Alexis enjoying an after school snack. Please notice the side ponytails. Lucy's hair has been re-done by someone at the nursery every day for the past few days. That day, I guess they were going for an 80s theme!
Man, I still get stressed when I think about having to take intensive language classes for 2 years...and I love foreign languages! Almost done!! A-woo-hoo!
