That’s right folks, we’re winding down to the last two weeks of the first summer session 
That means my posting will (if it hasn’t already) become infrequent. Sorry about that, I’ll try to keep updates coming.
I had exams last week on both of my classes, which meant no homework over the weekend 
But that didn’t mean no work! I spent the weekend catching up on work for various clients. I’ve been putting some of it off for far too long, so it felt really good to get some of it done! I hope they’re impressed.
I also cleaned up the apartment and caught up on some household chores. Oh, and I did the laundry. Yep fun stuff.
I’m a bit irritated. Last Tuesday I called my landlord because the water in my bathroom stopped flowing. It’s most odd because the toilet and shower still work, and the shutoff valve would cut water to the entire bathroom (meaning that the problem is not with the shutoff valve). So of course, my landlord never answers his phone but instead has a voicemail thing set up and always calls you back. But typically with maintenance-related stuff he is a little slow on the callback. Last year I had to have doors replaced and it took him two phone calls and a threatening letter (and a month of withheld rent) before he did something about it. But then again, when my heat didn’t work, he called back right away. I consider the water in my bathroom sink not working almost as important! Ugh… So Monday afternoon I’m going to call again, and tell him that if I don’t hear from him by Monday evening, I’ll hire a plumber to come and take care of it, and take it out of the rent. The thing is that I won’t be very discriminating about the bargain of who I hire to do the work.
On a happier note, I talked to my parents tonight. They landed in Dayton, OH this afternoon! They are moving back to the States after having spent the past 5 years in Egypt. I must say that I’m kinda sad, I really thought of Egypt as home, but if I ever go back to Egypt it won’t seem like home (and logistically speaking it will be much more difficult to visit because I’ll actually have to stay in a hotel, no more staying with the parents!). But I’m still planning on visiting them for the Fourth of July weekend, I’ve had my plane tickets for six weeks now
All right, that’s where we are heading into the second to last week of the first summer session! I’ll update again when I get the chance!
