Abeer dragged me off to the swimming pool in the morning. I really didn't feel like swimming... but then, I never really feel like doing anything. The water was nice and cool. What I love about the pool is the beautiful, deep blue color you can see when you go underwater. It's all fake, of course, because the tiles are blue.. but it's so good to

Man...I've heard all kinds of stories about how much it sucks to go to Catholic School. O.O But I've never been there, so I couldn't tell you how true they are!

As for Arabic being harder than Hebrew, maybe it's because they were teaching you the somewhat archaic and very complex Standard Arabic, as opposed to the simplified spoken dialects. Modern Hebrew has been simplified from Biblical Hebrew, so a lot of archaic elements have been thrown out. Plus, supposedly Arabic is an "archaic" Semitic language anyway, keeping a lot of things that other languages got rid of long ago.

I dunno. EVERYBODY complains about how hard Classical and Standard Arabic are!

The story I've heard about St Mary's is that kids go to the adjacent church to make out. It's like putting up a porn show for Jesus.

In Arabic class, my teacher teaches me the simplified Emarati dialect that people speak around here. And whenever I use a particular word that I learnt in school, he tells me that it's not used in everyday language. Still, I find it harder than Hebrew.
One reason may be because I was ignoring Arabic for all of last year and diverting my attention to Hebrew... plus I have 50 Hebrew songs [I counted] as opposed to 6 Arabic songs on my Winamp playlist. Music really helped me learn that language.

Hmmm...well, I was thinking of your previous class, the one you complained was such a bitch, as opposed to this one, since you mentioned that it actually consisted of speaking to other people, not looking up Forms I-X or whatever.

Are there no good Arab singers??? :-P

All the Arabic songs have the same frikkin' tune.. sometimes it just gets on my nerves.
