The visitor

So my Arabic class meets in the main administrative building on campus.  Got there a bit early yesterday and was walking toward a men's room when a guy stopped me and said "you can't use."  Okay.  Headed to a different bathroom down the hall, then went to class.  My teacher Mozna asked if any of us would be spending time with the sheikh.  Apparently he was on campus for a regents meeting.  In addition to being the ruler of Sharjah, he carries the title of University President.  After class, what looked like a security detail was standing at the building entrance.  The take away: I think I tried to use a bathroom that the sheikh was using.  The campus Facebook feed had pics of his visit, including shots of walking through the student organization fare in the student union, itself a spectacle: a dj playing really loud techno music, huge crowds, and free eats (Lebanese culture club giving out k'neffee, Palestinian club had some type of fatayer, etc).
