As you can tell from the title of this post, we've decided upon a theme song for our time here. For a few reasons:
1) It's Janine's ringtone, which makes us crack up as she is our parents age and listens to more modern music than we do.
2) There are days when we hate Egypt, this song makes us think positively. We have been given an amazing opportunity to study here and although things may not be up to our standards sometimes, we need to think positively in order to get past it.
3) It reminds us of Amanda's boyfriend at the vodaphone store (that in itself is reason 3-100)
Spent a fabulous lazy day yesterday getting tan (or in my case sunburned) at the beach. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, not too cold and the water was amazing. After going home and attempting to wash the massive amounts of sad off, we attempted to do our homework. Now having been out of school for awhile now, I find it quite difficult to do homework, especially the busy work kind which is mostly what we get here. I have no desire to write a 500 word conclusion on why learning a new language is difficult, luckily I graduated from DePauw. And that my friends means I'm an excellent bullshitter, not just average, excellent. So I whipped out my dusty bullshitting skills and put them to work. Let me just say I slapped that puppy out in about15 minutes.
On a more serious note, while many of you have heard me complain about my time here at school (not mentioning any names Big D) despite the fact that it is very different than home, I really do like it. I'm learning some very interesting things, not only about teaching English, but also about life in general. Could I live here forever? HELL NO. However, I could live here for a little while. I want to make a difference, to give the children here the opportunities that I have had in the US, the freedom to leave their country if they so wish, learning English will help them acheive this.
Ok time to get off my soapbox...
Love and Miss all of you guys.
Big Bosas!
