There are many things I don't like about my job, and someday I will regale you all with many tales of nonsense. But for now, I will remain(?) somewhat professional and not discuss work dramas on the blog.
On the bright side, I am taking advantage of the one perk that comes with my job - free language classes. I have been taking Spanish for the last 4 quarters, but this summer I decided to sign up for Arabic 101. My first class is tonight, and I am excited! I haven't taken a class in a new language since college (not counting the random Italian, French, and Chinese words I learn at work), so I think it will be really fun! (By the way in college I took one semester of Polish and one semester of German, and I have forgotten everything.)
I looked at my Arabic book last night and the letters look so hard to read. Apparently they are shaped differently depending on where they fall within the word?? WTF?? Well, we'll see how it goes. :)

Good luck! I think you made a great choice considering your options. I think Erin took Arabic one semester in college and the class didn't even finish the alphabet. Sounds like you've stumbled onto why!
Rob learned quite a bit of Arabic while deployed. He loved hanging out with the people over there and even has several of them emailing him still.
