When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. - Job
Well, it is hard to believe that we have been here for six weeks and that I have completed four weeks of class. Mid terms are a week from tomorrow. The classes are quite intense and I feel that I have learned a lot. We have covered the first two and a half chapters of Al-Kitaab 3 and each chapter has about 100 new vocabularly words, grammar points, and a couple of three page texts that contain even more new vocabulary words. Needless to say, it has been challenging, but I am loving it. The teachers and staff at Qasid have been very helpful and professional, which has made the experience that much better.
Mel and I have been working out at our new gym, which has been a great release. Speaking of stress releases, I just found out that Dubai One shows Curb Your Enthusiam on Tuesday nights (satellite tv is awesome). I am looking forward to checking that out this week. I just finished reading "The Winter of Our Discontent" by Steinbeck and it was good. Yesterday I bought "The Breakfast of Champions" by Kurt Vonnegut. It's already made me laugh out loud a few times and provided me the quote from the book of Job so it looks like it's going to be good.
Well, got to get back to the books.
