COUNTDOWN TO COMPLETION OF TERM 4: 11 DAYS!
COUNTDOWN TO LAST DAY OF SCHOOL(IE: LAST TEACHER DAY): 16 DAYS!!
COUNTDOWN TO CANADA!: 18 DAYS!!
OMIGOD! Is that for real? the last 2-3 months literally blew past.
I guess with all the travelling and spring break(s) school has been so busy you don't really notice the time fly.
That being said, i'm tryna get my last minute stuff done. Most of the teachers have kinda packed it in for the year. We're all busy trying to get our marks in and the stress level is high.
So is the temperature In the past few weeks, due to extreme temperatures, an excessive amount of power in Egypt is being over-used and causing major long annoying power outages. (like, 2-4 hours) Everytime we get home from work its like a gamble whether or not we will be making dinner in the dark. This makes it incredible difficult to shop, cook, eat, watch tv, mark, input report cards, call family, turn on AC.. etc....
At school, the AC(ta'keef) has blown and its +47 out. The school is an open courtyard so even our attempt at 'indoor recess and lunch' is taking in blistering desert heat. By 10:45am it had already hit 36. Our VP comes in at 1 and says 'pack it in, we're closing the school. Its too hot.'
ITS. TOO. HOT- so we are going home. (I never thought i'd say THAT) :)
I came home, stripped down, blasted the AC and lay like a starfish on the bed. I called mom, and told her its so damn hot that school was cancelled and thank god the power hasn't gone out in maadi because I would absolutely die. BOOM. power out.
I just kinda lay there and went crazy and dillusional in the heat.
