it seems like everywhere i go the sky is falling, and the concierges all meet ya with a frown

what i didn't stop listening to the entire time in egypt:

thanks michael b!





pyramids! i read lauren's post about seeing the pyramids for the first time and i didn't even realize how excited i would be to see them! a few people saw them way in the distance on our bus, and the professor just kept saying, "there straight ahead! 12:00!" which doesn't help at all when you're on the seventeenth row and 12:00 means the back of someone's head. so we were all craning around trying to see, and finally, seriously after a long while, glorious pyramids were beheld by all.

we went into the great pyramid the next day, and when we were taking pictures there, i got three different headpieces put on to my head to take pictures. woops
