American University in Cairo Update

July 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

So, here’s an AUC update.

 

I am NOT registered for the classes I want to take…and the only way to change them is to wait until August 30, at which time I must meet my advisor in person….which I’m pretty sure she’s going to have a million other people complaining about this and that.

 

One of my main goals while I’m in Egypt is to publish some work, articles, photos, whatever but something. Without these courses I want to take I don’t know if that will be possible.

 

And, as if that’s not enough I have been waitlisted for my AUC housing meaning I gotta go apartment searching in Cairo which are just going to incur many more problems including I don’t speak Arabic, and I’ll have to find daily transportation to and from the AUC campus, and who knows if the place I live will be safe or not, etc., etc.

 

Plus I still have a huge laundry list of things to do before I leave…in less than one month.

 

EEEK. I guess I better hop to it.
