Today was my last class of Language and Society. When I went to GIAL in July, I had then intention of taking the Certificate Program over the course of a year. However, I found that pace to be too slow for my taste and swtiched to the half year route. Unforturnately, I didn't make the switch in time to pick up the Language and Society course. So I just took it and am done with my undergrad work at GIAL. The next time I come to GIAL will be to start my master's work.
Tomorrow I will begin my Primary Health Care class. Three days of intense study concerning how to deal with medical sitations when in the jungle. I'm excited to start, although not to wake up before 7.

Convert to Dorkyism
Crazy day today.
This morning I woke up to the sound of a text, which told me I forgot to put a support letter in a support letter. Genius, huh?
I moved out of my bedroom into another bedroom (btw, I have moved more in the past four months than I had the years I was a Navy Brat. What is this!)
Then the field methods group that's studying Arabic went to an Arabic restraunt with our Language Consultant for lunch, followed by coffee and dessert at her house. Now, 6 pm, I am still stuffed and in two hours I have to go to the PBT house to greet a new PBT recruit to Dallas with dessert and apple cider. While yummy, my tummy hurts!
11:30 - Dessert was AWESOME. Well, at least the night was. My stomach wouldn't let me indulge much more than I already had, but three glasses of Apple Cider were definitely delicious. Also, we played this wicked game called Telephone pictionary. AMAZING. But my housemate informs me that I am now a GIAL dork. But I say: If dorks have this much fun, I should have converted a long time ago.

Orientation is over
Orientation for GIAL was Monday and today. It went well and I got to meet many people in my class. Tomorrow starts classes at 8 am. I have Grammar and Phonetics. I think I'll enjoy both of them greatly.
Sunday, I went to Northwood church, the church that got my home church, Forefront onto a new field where the Mein are located. It was a nice church. That afternoon I went to Deliverance Bible Church and that church was a church of radicals. Lots of fire and passion can be found in the hearts of those who attend that church.
I'm actually about to go to a Tuesday night bible study there now. So, I'll sign off to go and do that. I think I'll stop at Starbucks on the way and take some time to flip through my Grammar book.
