i think i'm going to hell for this next one

So, sometimes I play this game. It's not really so much a "game" as it is "snap judging people by their appearance" the rules are a little hard to define, as I said before: not really a game. I also don't really pick the people that I do this too. it's not like "i'm going to do every fifth person i see today" but there are two at work that I have done this to, and it was all almost instantly. One was in orientation with me. She's an RN. I saw her and thought "She's Catholic" I don't know why. I'm actually probably wrong. I totally saw her wearing a non-crucifix cross, which makes me have my doubts. But to me, she's Catholic. And then there's a Med Tech. I saw her and went "Pentecostal" "wait, no. not pentecostal, but fundamentalist. Baptist. Yeah. Baptist" but now that i think about it, she very well could be AoG. oh well. i'm not so interested in her. i ALMOST was like "are you Catholic?" to the other. Which I TOTALLY did in Yemen, among the students.

do i have catholic-dar? should i ask to find out?

arabic.

So, Yesterday I went to Missouri State and had my first ever Arabic class in the US of A. Which is kinda cool. and now I need to do work for the course. I intend to do all of book II this semester (don't laugh, bitches) I guess I'll see how feasable that is with a job when I have a job... inshallah, inshallah.

So far I have learned that my teacher is Algerian and she's just about as easy to steer off-topic as Arwa, which I'm totally cool with as long as we stay in Arabic. It's also nice that she stays in arabic with me, but she can verify my english translations because she is competent in english as well.
