I don't understand why people just don't wear abayas and dhofari dresses all the time. They're so comfortable. Seriously though. I'm wearing a dhofari dress right now and it's so comfortable.
On a separate note, I signed the language pledge today. So no speaking in English anymore. My room has been eerily silent, we're all using hand gestures and sounds and facial expressions to communicate. It's funny.
That's all. Tomorrow Grand Mosque and then Access.
SIDENOTE: I got an email from my host sister...SUPER EXCITING.
Ok sorry for the boring days guys, but we seriously are just studying Arabic on days like these. We have 5 hours of class a day, so it's pretty intense.
Off to dinner!
!!! مع السلامة
I thought the pledge was about speaking Arabic, not learning how to mime ...
ReplyDeleteUm it is...but we have had one week of Arabic classes. Go easy on me
DeleteBlog posts should be in Arabic from now on :)

ReplyDeleteOk ok just for you, anon. I'm going to do one right now. Sorry if it's short and awful though
Delete*claps* kudos, Ariel. your viewership sure is surging! i don't see much of the other NSLI-Y-oman students with blogs? also, i found this blog, http://emmagoesabroad.blogspot.com/, and i don't get what's happening right now? i suppose they came before you, but you said you were the first batch of students in oman? she's ending her "YES" scholarship o.o
ReplyDeleteYES is a year scholarship (the one in Oman at least). They just ended, it's similar to NSLI-Y but if you go with NSLI-Y, you can't do YES, and if you do YES, you can do NSLIY-Y, which isn't really fair..oh well :P
DeleteThanksss :)
