Last day of classes....almost!

As I just mentioned, we had a small party in class today, since it was our last day of Arabic classes. There was a lot of food - particularly cake. Particularly yummy sponge cake with whipped cream frosting and layers of fruit in between along with deliciously fresh and glazed strawberries on top. Not that I minded - not one bit.

It was a tad bittersweet - we have been together as a class with the same teacher for 3 hours Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays for FusHa and together for 1.5 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays for Ammiyya for 3 months. Plus, this means - finals! We have our first round of finals on Sunday - eek! - and for Arabic we'll have at least six hours of exams, plus another several hours of post testing to see what level we are at now. Next week we still have area studies classes, but the week after that, we have our final exams for them; another 6 hours of tests. Fun, fun, fun!
