Day 48: Baited Breath

Okay, so the title's a lot more dramatic than the day really was. Mostly I slept, and did a little homework, and watched the second half of A Very Potter Sequel because let's face it, I have very little will power when it comes to restraining myself.

I woke up late, but I was still tired. Just as I was about to take a nap though, Habiba knocked on my door asking if I wanted to watch a movie. I'd had to cancel on her the other day because I was dying. Well... not so much cancel as curl up in a ball of misery and have her take that as a rain check. Either way, I said sure.

She brought down some files to choose from and the two of us climbed on my bed along with Kamelya and Doua' from across the hall and watched "Omar and Selma" on my computer. It was a boot legged version recorded on a video camera in a cinema, so the sound was terrible and Kamelya and I couldn't understand a word. Even Doua', who's Egyptian, didn't get half of it.

Luckily, Habiba had seen it before, and while she'd explain between scenes, that's not really the best way to watch a movie. Doua' was the first to go to sleep, and Kamelya followed not long after. About half an hour from the end of the movie Habiba could tell I was exhausted, so she volunteered to finish it another time. By finish it another time, I actually think she means just watch another one with better sound, but I don't mind. It wasn't that great of a movie.

The story was about a husband who still flirts with other women, and his wife who's angry about it. It's kind of slapstick. What few details I have aren't really worth writing out. Their two daughters were cute though.

Once we'd decided I was going to bed, Habiba told me that she wanted to go to the hospital with me. Apparently Zeinab is visiting family or something. But she wasn't in the dorms last night, and Habiba doesn't want me to be alone. On that same note, she offered to stay the night in my room. I was perfectly fine on my own, but she was being so kind that I couldn't say no. So she slept in Hadir's bed while I napped for an hour before my shower.

Anyway, now it's technically the next morning, and I'm about to go brush my teeth before waking up Habiba and heading to the hospital. Wish me luck!
