hello, my name is cassandra

My name is Cassandra. The Arabic equivalent is Hadija. She was one of (I repeat, one of...)the prophet Mohamed's wives.

I live off of peanut butter and cafe au lait's.

I wash my clothes in a pink bucket in the bathroom.

The only place I feel like I fit in in this country is the hammam.

Yesterday was Eid el-Kebir
We gave thanks to God as we remembered when God spared Ibrahim's son Ishmael from being sacrificed by providing Ibrahim with a ram.
therefore, we (my host family and I) slaughtered two rams, in our house, in the hallway. and then ate some liver. and a lot of kefta.

on saturday, this song will be true. but only the first line of it:
