So clearly I fell off the wagon for a bit. But to be fair, once we got back from New Zealand, things got a bit crazy. I spent a good week cramming grammar and vocab for another Arabic proficiency exam, took the exam, and found out last minute that I would, in fact, be allowed to start Arabic 204 the next morning. So I began almost 6 weeks of intensive Arabic - 5 days a week, 3 hours of class a day, with another 2-3 hours of homework and class prep time after that. But even with all of that, I love me some Arabic! The grammar's difficult at times, but the language really is beautiful. Anyways. In that time, we've also been dog-sitting, working, cooking (and eating of course!), rock climbing, and more. On top of that, Jeff's parents are in town this weekend visiting us, tomorrow is my last day of classes, I have a final presentation to prepare, and the final exam on Thursday. I'm excited to to finish! So here are some pictures from the last month or so :]

| small kitchen + 4 people cooking = crowded. |
