In with the new..

I'm sitting here waiting for the washing machine to finish its load, so i can hang my pants and go to bed, and i thought i should post about what's been going on.

With life turning very repetitive, the great Cairo exhodus, my job sucking immensly, and scrabble night no longer happening things were not looking so bright. So after a long hot summer i decided it's time to pump up some energy and get out and do smth.

This week i have officially started working an english teacher for two groups of young people at Resala foundation. It's great volunteer work - a. i like teaching b. it feels good to do smth nice to the community c. it's two hours where people H A V E to listen to ME! hoooray!
So it has been cool, lesson planning, and all. I have one group who have weak english, i can totally see them speaking english by the end of December. Totally! this other group, who barely know anything - with those i have no idea how i will manage to bring them to speak full sentences in a meaningful converation... But i guess i'll find out.

On top of that i finally decided to do that one thing that i've wanted to do since i was about 5. That is to learn to play the piano. Everyone has told me that i'm an idiot for starting an instrument at 25. But i will do it anywayz! I have a good feeling about this one...

I'm also planning a trip to paris where, i found out, i will stay not-so-far from the red light district. So i guess the trip's going to be eventful?
Now i'm in planning mode. They say november is the gay festival month for paris, so at least all the men will be groomed!
must buy new camera.

Ok, laundry's done.

Friends have a way of sticking their noses in things that are so not their business, especially after a few drinks.
They think they're helping, when they really need to just bugger off. People who need help, usually ask for it. If they don't ask for it, it's probably coz they don't want it!

I don't know about you but this seems not so hard to fathom for people who think of themselves as smart yuppies.
