Welcome Back

Hello again everyone!

It's been a very long time, I know. I have had a long summer holiday and been back in Cairo for just under 3 weeks now. I felt it was about time for me to start blogging again. To be honest I don't think I'll ever be a natural at doing this regularly so I'm just going to have to accept that . I will continue to make the effort of course in trying to remember to do it!

As I write, I am sitting on my balcony after a long day at work. I am definitely settling back into the swing of things but it is still as tiring as ever. It's very interesting to come back to the school for a second year and experience the beginning of the school year in a totally different way. I am no longer the person who doesn't have a clue what is going on as well as trying to take in an overload of information, but instead I have come back into Year 1 to familiarity for the first time in my teaching career. My new class are nice with he bonus of a few interesting little characters to keep me on my toes and pretty much knacker me out!

Not only is it different in the sense that I'm in a comfort one, career wise but also strange that my circle of friends is totally different. In fact, if I'm honest I'm still feeling my way about. I have had a lot more 'me time' than last year which suits me down to the bone and I still dance with the crew. I wasn't sure if that would work out because rehearsals were being held twice a week from 9- 11pm...definitely not achievable in my eyes. Thankfully, these times have changed within the last week and I am now able to get my very much needed sleep! We are supposedly performing at a shopping mall on Friday evening but it's not yet confirmed. For now though, our main aim is to practise for Arabs Got Talent in the hope that we passed our audition in July.
