I Can Make Pasta and Chicken!

It's been two weeks since I left Chicago, which is strange because I feel like I've been here forever. Not in a bad way. I'm just used to it. Not that I don't miss home either, because I definitely do, but things here are good.

I do mourn the end of my responsibility free life. From December 21 until today, I basically went wherever I wanted and did whatever I wanted and it was the most fabulous two months of my life. But today was the first day of classes, so the fun has officially come to an end. I have class for my internship on Mondays from 9:30am-12:30pm and have to go into the office two days a week, but that part doesn't start for another two weeks. As of right now, I'm taking another class as well, but I'm thinking about dropping it. I'm pretty sure I will be busy enough between my internship and working on my research report and scheduling that around another class is going to be annoying, but we'll see.

I still have plenty to do before I start my internship. On Wednesday we are having a tour of the private areas of Parliament, on Friday we have an all-day seminar there, and on Monday we are having a seminar with the Syrian ambassador at the embassy and getting free lunch.

Also, I'm learning to cook. Sort of.

I need to take more pictures...
