Being Patient

No news is good news, right? From, us you can pretty much expect that. We have done two days of orientation now, pretty much a lot of sitting and waiting, with a few little signatures here and there. Apparently there is a nice mall that is shaped like the Titanic in Hawally (the area where we live), so we might check that out this afternoon.

We are in one of the computer labs in the school right, just waiting for the minibus to take all of us newcomers back to the apartment buildings. I'm feeling a little crazy, like I want to go to the beach or bungee jumping or something today, but I doubt that will happen. Maybe we'll just try to get some lunch first! Tomorrow we are supposed to get our room assignments and our materials. In reference to my last post, that will hopefully happen. We've found that people are fairly fluid in their scheduling. Someone can say that something will happen tomorrow, but it will probably happen in about a week. We laugh because everyone says that they will see us in 10 minutes, or something will happen in 10 minutes, but it really happens in a few hours. We are learning to be patient!
