the coolest place

I found a really cool bookshop today. All it was missing was a supply of Moleskine books! It is really cool- has an incredible balcony, a great menu for cheap (oh, did I mention it is a cafe/restaurant upstairs?) and it is painted all funky colors, with funky pictures lining the stairs, and funky mismatched couches inside. It is great! I went and hunkered down in this big purple and pink couch and no watched me, no one stared - and I was able to drink and study even though it is Ramadan!!!!
So, I now have to great places to study close to school- so I think I am going to hang out close to school, bring snacks or buy cheap snacks at these cool places and try to study before I go home. I am hoping that this will allow me to get more studying in- we will see!
I have had a pretty low key day- went to study, met a new friend from a potential "company" to go with in the future, came home, studied, went to church and helped with the kids, and then now I am home again to study! Oh the life I lead!!!
I am dying for a Dr. Pepper- and I found some the other day- so I have 3 cold ones in the fridge as I speak. But, I made a deal with myself that I would only drink "black fizzy" on Sunday. I am trying to learn anticipation- you know, the anticipation that we all should share because Christ is going to return? The hope of our calling? But, I am not very good at it. I don't have many things that I anticipate (except maybe knowing Arabic!) but I figure this is a way I can practice anticipation every week!! (it has been over a month since I have tasted the "heavenly beverage" -so I am chomping at the bit to down one tomorrow!!!!) So, tomorrow is the day- and I can hardly wait!!! I just wish I wanted Jesus to come back as much as I want to drink Dr. Pepper!!
