my new place...

The kitchen w/ gas stove and fridge and a li'l geko that lives in the sink! Amanda, my roommate, saw him the first day and freaked! Luckly, she doesn't cook much, so she doesn't know that I still see him....I kinda like him. His name is now Jim.

I met my roommate, Amanda, at grad orientation. She is studying Mid-Eastern Studies, Islamic History stuff. We have a lot of similar quirks but most importantly similar study habits. She hails from Tucson, AZ and is lovely!
This weekend, Eid, we are traveling to Dahab, in the Sinai Penninsula to go snorkling for her b-day! And take a camel ride!

My room.

The window overlooks a mechanics shop (I think). I love the breeze but am quickly finding that an open window means I have to dust and sweep almost everyday!



More pics to come...we are slowly decorating, putting things together. Once its picture worthy, they'll be up!
