December!!!

It is the 1st of December, Romania's national Day, when everybody has the day off at home and they eat beans and sausages (pork, btw - which we can hardly find here). So, if i were at home, i'd just chill; here, i have such a busy day!! Lots of things to do at school, a meeting after school, life group tonight where i am supposed to do devotions etc etc.
I feel shattered!! I am so looking for the Eid break, even if it's just 5 days! Me and Nichole plus the gang (or at least Rachel and Esther) are going to Aswan. We might take a felluca back from Aswan to Luxor and camp in the desert; that was Rachel's idea. it is getting chilli here, but we can go for the adventure.
Bronwyn is leaving this week to South Africa ... so, in the end it will be just me and Nichole. We decided to stay here for Christmas. We are house sitting, so it should be fun having 3 houses. We'll soon have company as Chase's cousin is coming and she'll stay at our house.
Btw, talking about the devil ... we went to the cinema this weekend wt a huge group of boys ... they're all hilarious!! There were just 3 girls: me, Nichole and Rachel and then a bunch of guys: Ben, Karaboo, Luke, Chase, Benjamin, Matt, Dave. We watched James Bond - Quantum of Solace; not my kind of movie, but it was neat to be wt everyone. After that we wanted to go to our favorite place: Dunes; to our surprise, when we got there they said we need to order of a minimum of 40 LE each, so we decided to leave. We went to our house. Totally inappropriate!! In this culture, you're not allowed to have men over to your house. But, we dont know our neighbours; they dont know us! and besides that, they're all foreigners anyway!
Better go back to class!! This was supposed to be a time off for an "Advent cup of tea".
