Excitement!

First, I am going to an Iftar dinner tonight with a group of teachers. An Iftar is when the fast is broken during Ramadan and it is supposedly quite a to-do. This will be my first one and I'm thrilled to experience it.

Second, I can finally request high-speed internet for my apartment!!!!! I had to wait until the phone line was transferred into my name and that was completed yesterday. So we looked up the hours of Q-Tel, the telecommunications firm here, and their Ramadan hours are from 8am to 1:30pm (I'm in school then) and 8pm to midnight. Unbelievable! After dinner I'll go and request the high-speed and maybe, just maybe, I might actually have it hooked up by this time next week. I do realize I'm being very optimistic, but I must or else I just might cry...

Anyway, here's to a great weekend!
