Getting Ready

The day is coming up so quickly. I'm leaving for Yemen on Friday morning! I'm very excited to be there but I'm getting nervous about my current Arabic abilities. I have totally been slacking off and not studying AT ALL. It's just really really important that I pass this class, my degree depends on it. I am also not looking forward to the painfully long plane ride ahead of me. If I have it calculated correctly, from the time I leave Salt Lake until I land in Sana'a Yemen, it will be 26 hours, with 21 of those hours actually spend flying. Not a particular experience I'm looking forward to. The flight bad is a bit worse, long lay-overs. However, I'm counting on Yemen being great enough to defuse any traveling annoyances.
