Betsy- I get it. I have very very few close friends, and he is one of them. He has been incredibly supportive of me in some of the hardest and most vulnerable situations I've been in recently, and on a daily basis he makes me feel beautiful, happy, loved and respected (yes he is just a friend, but he cares so much for me I can feel it).... I would be foolish to let him go for something he doesn't even know he did. He and I met last year when he was a 'new' teacher at our school (he's been teaching about 6 years longer than me and had an entire life before that) but he and I just 'clicked'.... we share a classroom, and most days spend hours together... when teaching we look at eachother for inside jokes and smiles and get them.... He means the world to me, especially here... I am actually his department head this year, which makes me feel weird but hec encouraged me last year to ask for the position.... I've never met anyone like him, and will be surprised if I do again. We're actually doing a course together too. It's good that his wife and I are also friends, or people might talk :P
Fiona- Thank you for reading my other thread. And thank you for the comment on my writing. I appreciate it
I haven't written much about Egypt lately, but life gets rather routine when you work somewhere.
Ubee- yay
Love this thread more and more!
On the topic of Egypt, I am off school tomorrow due to Morsi's trial.... there are going to be road blocks and protests I guess, so they don't want students and staff travelling all over to get to school. Then we are off on Tuesday for Islamic New Year. |So mid-week weekend! Woo-hoo.
I had my 'cheat' night early (dinner with friends) but I bought the ingredients for beef stew which I will make tomorrow and eat for the next few days... to get back on track.
