It's been a couple weeks since my last post. It has also been a couple weeks since I started fasting (weekends semi-excluded). The first week was a bit rough but after adjusting my diet and daily activities, with scheduled naps, I've gotten accustomed to going the whole day without food. I'm probably going to eat a little something midday so I can start running again like I planned to this summer, which I can't do if I'm not allowed to drink any water for 15hrs.
I am over half way through the program and things are going to start picking up in class since we are now all functioning listen to lessons in only arabic with no english translations. Our weekly Wednesday tests are covering more and more material with more focus on the grammar. Our class has gotten very intense over the last 2 weeks.
Not much other than that has been going on at the campus, Friday nights are still movie nights, Wednesday nights are still lecture nights, and all the rest of the nights are study nights.
The two weekends weekend I did go to the Point Reyes ship wreck in Inverness, California with Swati.
Here's a map of where Inverness is from where I am in Oakland, about an 1.5 hr drive from Oakland.
And here's a visitor style map of the West Marin National Park area. The boat above is behind a convenient store in the city of Inverness of the bay West of Point Reyes Station.
After going to Inverness we went to the South-West tip to the Point Reyes Lighthouse.
I currently don't have pictures but I will make another post with many pictures after I receive them all in a couple days.
Sorry I've been lazy/busy to write that much but I just haven't been doing to much that is write-worthy.
And for those of you in and/or around TC, I return August 9th, in a couple weeks.
I'll try to do more so that I can write more about what's going on and I'll also try to take more pictures, also.
Have a good one and until next time!
