Nothing new to report. I had the same EC pt as I did during week 1, the one with the arm infection. I hung out most of the night in the interpreters' room playing a card game. It's almost like Spades except the person to the right of the shuffler can choose what suit they want as the highest suit for that card game.
A couple of the day shift interpreters stayed the whole night with the night shift interpreters. One is Mohammed Zair, and the other is Bashir. I remember having met Bashir before but I don't think we formally introduced ourselves. He was there the night I watched them all pray and Dr. Jabar prayed for me. Bashir is...um, can I say beautiful? Well he is! If I could I would stare at him forever. Maybe it's because he is the spitting image of how Jesus would look like if he were in his early twenties. I told him he looked like a young Jesus; at first he didnt know how to take it but I told him I meant it as a compliment. To me, he's more beautiful and better to look at than any actor or model that I can think of. When I personally call a male beautiful (sounds weird but yes, men can be beautiful; they are God's creation after all), I consider it better than 'hot' and 'good-looking' but that's only according to MT's compliment scale. He even has what looks like smiling wrinkles on the outside corners of his eyes. I can't tell because I don't want to get caught staring at him, so I just looked at him when they were all arranging their own hand of cards. =) To clarify...no, I don't have a crush on him. I just want to stare at him...forever...lol jk
Nazar was off last night. =( I like talking to him. He's so shy but willing to teach me what I want to learn, and answer all my questions. I don't think I'll have the alphabet down by the time I see him tonight. It's ok. I asked Zair about books that have English to Dari (aka Eastern Persian; an official language spoken in Afghanistan - the one I'm learning) translations, and he might have some to lend me. I hope so! Then I can practice at "home" and just have them correct me in the pronunciation.
I think that's all for now. I need to sleep if I want to be rested for tonight! Baad mibinim (see you later)!
