Alright, alright, let me clarify: its awfully hard to be cute when one is living out of one suitcase, rotating a handful of articles of clothing and a few scarves, and only bathing every 10-14 days. Throw some bed bugs into the mix (that is not a joke), and one starts to feel downright disgusting. With that in mind, please excuse the grumpiness -- and the brevity -- of this post.
Yuckiness aside, things are going well. Training has been getting better and better with every day that passes, though my language skills arent progressing as quickly as the days themselves are. I cant believe that this is one of our last weekends in the province! Next Friday we find out our final sites -- where the team and I be spending the rest of our time in-country-- and then its one more week of classes before we head back to our starting point, swear in (inshaAllah) and disperse throughout the country. Where has this time gone?
Hind is a few computers down from me right now, posting more pictures. Make sure to check them out! Also, as much as it hurts my heart to say it, congrats to UNC for winning the national title. There are celebratory pictures on her blog, so if you have a weak stomach for the Carolina Blue, consider yourself warned.
Alright, friends, its time to hit the public hammam -- our first time! Im not thrilled about bathing in public whilst looking like I have the chicken pox, but I cant turn down an opportunity to get clean. The ladies of Taraboot Hussein (Sean went earlier this morning, dont worry) give our anticipatory allah leytik shhas to all of you.
Happy Easter! :)
