Finally....

Well it has been forever since I have posted anything. I am still not sure if it is due to lack of anything happening, or laziness, or my shitty internet connection.
All three possibilities make me bitter....
So, I have been extremely busy at work! I never knew that teaching was a full time job. I love my class though and that makes it all ok in the end. I am convinced that I have the sweetest collection of 8 - 9 year old Egyptians. I am also convinced that everyone I work with (minus 1 Candian) suck ass! My only friend is a Canadian and I try my hardest not to hold that against her.... Seriously, the people I can tolerate at work can be counted on 1 hand!! But I sing and busy myself with my students and the day ends without me killing myself.
I taught my class about Mexico. We had an international day and I got to teach them about Mexico, Mexican food... I even had to remember some of my Spanish... I am glad that there are no Mexicans in this school. The kids would have known that my Spanish sucks a lot more than my Arabic does!
I made Mexican food for them!!! I cooked! I was proud of myself.... I made tacos, nachos, and burritos.... Some parents amde fajitas and chili... it was a great day! It tasted like the "white girl tacos" that I have grown to love and crave.
A lot of people were impressed. The American crowd at work was happy because secretly we all miss our supermarket totillas!!!
It was a fun day.
My class liked the food and think I know everything! heheheheheh It is so cute at how easily they can be impressed. They have not seen a lot in life and their horizons are so narrow. I love how you can see them broaden as these kids learn new things.

I think that teaching has changed me a lot. I have come to see the small things as being more grand. I have 22 8 year olds that I need to thank for that. I am lucky to be in their presence. I am grateful to be such a big part of their lives.
