Snapshots of School Days

These are a few pictures of moments from my school days. I and a friend my mine took these random pictures today during our tea break.
Every day we start class at 8:20 by singing Arabic praise/church songs and reciting our memory veryse of the week. Then one of us takes turns praying in Arabic. It's a good thing that the Lord understands our hearts without needing our words because we certainly fumble over this language!!! It's like- "ya Ruub min fadlaak aatina patience li at-aalmem illuugha Arabiy" ( which is- Lord, please give us patience in learning Arabic). I can get most words but some of the keys words I just have to fill in with English!! :) Anyway, after that we work until 9:20 when we get a ten minute break. Back for another hour of class before breaking for a half-hour tea break (Tea-breaks are every day occurences here in the Middle East at around 10:30 in the morning. The Arabs have inherited the tea break from occupation of the British back in the day).
So anyway these are some new friends and co-workers that I have been blessed with over the course of the past few months since moving here. We keep each other sane and help each other laugh at ourselves. Of course an occasional skipping class to go get some coffee!!! (sshhh don't tell!!)
Some of these pictures are a little redundant but oh well!
