I Love Arabic!

After spending a portion of the day (at work) trying to remember all the Tunisian Arabic we learned while in Tunisia (and being successful at my attempt!), as well as practicing writing "Tunisia" in Arabic (which I can do!!), I realized that I could not remember how to count to ten!

Thanks to my journal and one of my teammates, I know now! Well, I can't remember 7-9...

Wehed, thneen, thletha, arba, khamsa, setta...(seven, eight, nine), asherah.

Woo hoo!

Oh, and my mentor is the BEST. He gave me the new "Office Space: Special Edition with Flair" as a congratulatory present for getting a job. I LOVE Office Space--and I can't wait to see the special features! :)

The job is going alright...I'm pretty bored (as you can probably tell because of my Arabic moments today), but after pleading with them to give me some projects to work on, they did, and I was occupied. But it wasn't exactly work that requires thought, so that has been frustrating. Oh well--this is still just a trial run, and if it doesn't "fit", I can move on. Yay for temp agencies! :)

Have a great Wednesday!

PS--Again, I question, WHY do I live in California? I seriously wonder that almost daily...today was our Special Election... http://www.ss.ca.gov for results. People don't vote, yet they complain that nothing ever changes. Whatever. They also generally aren't educated voters and vote along party lines (or according to the commercials they liked the best)...whatever. I need to educate them!!
