Family situation deteriorating rapidly. My curfew is now eleven because my generally consistent adherence to my midnight curfew apparently causes people to watch when I come home and make plans to attack me (bullshit) -- and makes the family look bad. I am going to talk to Arabesk today about moving out and moving on -- I want to get a room in a house with some friends in the Old City.
Am getting sick -- my stomach aches constantly and I'm exhausted. I am told that sickness here usually hits in the third week, so I'm right on schedule. I also have a cough likely caused from nargila and second-hand cigarette smoke. (Apparently smoke hurts your lungs, who knew.) Wish I was not getting sick as I have my final exam Thursday. Boo.
Still not arrested, and have had no further problems with my friends from the government. Good news.
Off to class.
Hang in there, Aimee! So sorry to hear about the family situation. What on earth did they expect when they agreed to take you in? I mean, really. I hope you can move on VERY soon - and that you don't get any sicker. Much much good luck on your final exam Thurs - I'll be thinking of you.
