Ya habibi

I had a really good night! A bunch of girls went out to the movies with our resident coordinator person (kind of like an RA, only for the whole dorm?) Iman (who is super super cool). We were going to see this random movie that everyone is all about right now, called Ibrahim al-Abiyad (White Abraham), but apparently the boys who were going with us couldn't go because one got sick. So, we instead, being a bunch of girls, saw this romantic comedy called Omar wa Selma 2 (it was a sequel). It turned out to be totally ridiculous. It was a story about this couple (I guess the first movie was their love story and getting married, etc), and how now they are married and have two kids and have marital drama. There was much yelling, singing, dancing, total ridiculousness. The actual storyline was quite disturbing to many of the Americans, because the girl just totally keeps letting the guy do all this bad stuff and he just gets away with it by singing to her and dancing a bit. But, it was fun? I had a good time.

Then we got out and Iman suggested dessert, so we went to this AMAZING place that was pretty much almost Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. It was beautiful and clean and classy, with many floors, and so much sweets. There was a chilled display of chocolate bars, bins of candy, displays of candy, middle eastern sweets, gateaux, gelato, soft serve, ice cream, etc, etc. Amazing. We all got super delicious things, but I'm kind of disappointed with my choice (a chocolate gateaux thing that was a bit bland). The chocolate mousse looked amazing, I need to try it again. I had some good conversations, and spend a while talking to this girl who I always thought was just okay but turned out to be really cool! She is Spanish, originally, although very American, and lived in London a bit when she was little. So, we talked about how awesome London is, and it was great. I feel good and kind of loopy (probably from being sick), and tired but not wanting to sleep. I should, though. Ok, ma'asalaama!
