Paradigm Shifts

Yesterday was a rather fantastic day.  I had a class early in the morning on saturday, which had me out of bed to enjoy the warm weather and bright sunlight.  The crazy thing is that while coming back home, I was walking down the street and suddenly heard from nowhere "What?! Mitch Sipus!"   I looked up to see my former UC classmate Chris Coleeza emerging out the crowd!  He and I both studied international development planning at UC and I was quite surpised to see him, as he is presently in the Peace Corps in Ethiopia.  It turns out that he and his wife came to Cairo for a week vacation, and we just happened to cross paths about 3 hours after he arrived here.  The incredible thing is that I live within a city of 30 million people, so the stastical odds of he and I running into eachother is really beyond belief!

Otherwise I've been working hard writing beats and recording hip hop in the hood.  Writing some papers and looking into changing my situation here in Cairo.  I am now moving to a different apartment in a few weeks.   The best part is that I will be able to walk to school and the subway, so I won't need to take a taxi all the time like I now as living on an island in the Nile is nice, but it is sometimes quite frustrating. The apartment I will be moving to is located closer to school, and is sufficiently cheaper than my current place.  It is also significantly smaller, but I look forward to the change of pace.

I will make sure to post some music and photos in the next few days.  Later!
