For a while at least: I will miss it.

We revised a fair bit and worked on conversation and writing to round off the two hours. While I am nowhere approaching fluency, or even 'informed tourist' status, I feel I have learnt a fair bit over the past ten weeks.

I obviously have revealed a bit about myself too. After our teacher said we should practice over the holidays, I commented that those at work thought I'd gone mad as I was muttering away in Arabic before class as I revised; without skipping a beat he responded, "Sorry? Surely they realised you were mad before that!" :)

Best go; I'm off to a steamboat dinner at a friend's place...mmmmm.
