I haven't posted in a while. My computer has been without power sources for the past several weeks (battery was fried, and then A/C adapter shorted out...but they're now both replaced!!), and school has been busy, busy! I haven't seen the last two episodes of The Office, so that should tell you how much leisure time I've had lately!
So, my biggest news lately: I applied for a two-month study abroad program to go to Tunisia, Egypt, or Jordan next summer, after I GRADUATE!!! (May 9, 2009 is the big day!). I enrolled in Beginning Arabic this semester kind of on a whim, and have really enjoyed it. It's crazy-hard, but so very interesting, also! One of Mike's friends from BYU spent a semester in Jordan, and she has a blog about her experience, which has gotten me even more excited about the possibilities :)
I won't find out until late March whether I've been accepted or not, but I'm going to plan as if I will be going, and if it ends up not working, alternative adventures are pending.
After the few months that I've been studying, I can write a short paragraph about who I am, where I'm from, what I study, and my living situation/possessions , which is pretty amazing to me. Dr. Bayakly is a top-notch teacher, for sure!
