Winnipeg is expecting 15-30 cm. of snow this weekend.
I wish i was there. :( OK- when i tuned into the radio and heard what a skating rink the roads are i felt a bit better. Driving down pembina at 7 in the morning on a bed of ice was not my idea of a good time.
Not such a great couple of days. Its been wicked awful because of luthers mid-terms, reports being due and 4 'late-bus' days in row where i don't get home until 6.
On a lighter note, the school held its annual egypt cultural day. The field was set up and the arabic teachers hosted a large concert with the kids singing, dancing and parading around the field dressed in egyptian attire (gallabeias, pharoahs, bedouins etc..) I even decked out in a jangle dress. Luther came to visit as well. It was the first time he saw the school.

I'm kinda missing home right now. The thought of peering outside and seeing a blanket of white would be amazing. Not to mention, its hard to think of getting into the christmas spirit when:
1.) christmas isn't such a big deal here (y'know...with the whole 97% muslim population an'all)
2.) view outside in july: sunny and hot with lots of sand...view outside in december: sunny and hot with lots of sand
So i'm thinking of what to put on my bulletin board at school that doesn't have any type of blatent christmas-ey theme (even though the school celebrates christmas. I'm simply anticipating my laziness for AFTER christmas when i can still get away with a 'winter' theme for a few more months before i have to change it again.) So...winterey-not-religeous-yet-seasonal..= PENGUINS! :)
MAYBE some snowmen thrown in there. we'll see ;)
On that note, i'm going to start thinking of christmas gifts. please send your requests my way.
No requests for magic lamps with genies though. Those are hard to find. :) Ditto with magic carpets.
