    That's actually really interesting! That'd look really unique on your CV too having done Arabic for your LC. I'm sure there's plenty of jobs in that part of the world that you might be able to tap into later on as well :D

    I'm moving schools too, and pretty much for the same reason. It's a pity, but for the best in my opinion.

    I don't start back until the 8th!!! :D
