But not for very long…

Yes, it is that lovely halfway point in the semester that most college students dread.  Midterms.  Clearly all of my professors decided it was a great idea to schedule their midterms on two days at the end of October.  When they originally told us, the end of the month seemed so far away… well it’s here. 

Monday: Survey of Arab History Midterm

Tuesday: Comp. Politics of Middle East History Test

Wed: Political Econ Paper due (10-15 pages on Capitalism); Political Econ Midterm; Issues in Middle East Politics Midterm due which is actually just a 6 page paper.

So, as you can tell, I am a bit stressed.

Also I woke up today not feeling well.  So midterm week is the best week to be sick.  Right?

Well… I will survive (in Sha’Allah).  Wednesday is only a few days away and I am also going to a Halloween (read: Drown myself in Midterm sorrows) Party that night.  Then, at 6am (I won’t go to sleep), a bunch of us are leaving for the White Desert which is a few hours west of Cairo, kinda near the Libyan border for one night of desert camping. 

Sorry this post has been rather uneventful.  It’s the dull point in the semester I’d say.  Be back Friday/Saturday - ish.
