Today we had class again, nothing new. We had a lecture by Dr. Dhaouedi about his theory of the "other underdevelopment." While the article was interesting, I found the leture lacked substane and the speaker repetitive. It was like he didn't think we spoke English. I felt like most of the time he did nothing but talk about his professional accomplishments and talk down to us. Maybe that one should be left out next time around. Afterwards, we had a workshop on Arabic calligraphy. We tediously worked step by step to write our names in Kufic style calligraphy, which is very geometrical. It was cool but I did feel like first grader. But it was still cool.
