Last day of class today. A visit to Kaifan to collect mail and students’ paper (and apparently to argue with students about their grades not being well-deserved – their argument: they deserve more; my argument: they deserve less :)
I choose a marag 3adas lunch over going out in order to be faithful to my New Year Resolution to watch my expenditures. Ha-ha. I find myself laughing as I write this. Let’s see how long that lasts.
So now, 17 papers to correct, probably in a second or third version (when even really interesting papers lose their spark), and 10 more papers to correct for the first time, which means I have to struggle with sentence structure and language before I can even attempt to understand the thesis.
Wish me luck.
I’m not liking this coming Eid: two best friends are going away, one on vacation, another for a longer period. I’ll miss them tremendously. Two brothers also leaving with their wives so their kid will spend the vacation at their in-laws, making for a really quiet house at my mom’s.

hmm intresting ...i wish you said you are the same Teacher i know... to attend one of your classes before registering ...
im affraid i take your class as over load and lose grades :D miss
Happy New Year!
I didn't complain when I handed in my paper LOL! Actually I never complain (insert: eye roll)
I understand about the expenditure part, I spend more than I rake in of course, of course I rake in nothing technically, I blame the restaurants, I seriously do :/
Good luck with all those papers, you can always just say you lost them and give us all A's :P Just kidding of course.
I don't think I like this Eid as well, I am not sure why at the moment, but I fear it will be quiet this year I guess. I hope it won't :/ I think I should run around and yell the whole time acting worse than my 4 year old cousins LOL! No I'm joking.
Back to what I mentioned above Happy New Year! And wish you good luck.
I'll miss the kids too but I'm glad it's a quiet Eid for a change.
I had a movie-like dream about you earlier.. You were shooting at someone.. Weird stuff
Happy new year :-)
27 papers, that's so horrible. Eid always sucks. I hate all those family gatherings, as most of my family members are so stupid they don't talk about anything other than 'Where are you planning to study?', and 'Did you watch that TV show', and 'Weather's disgusting'. Thank God this isn't 3eid el fe6ir; they always tend to give a full boring review on stupid Ramadan TV series about phliandering men, narcissistic selfish second-wives, lost kids and far-fetched miserable events. Plan is to get my 3ayadi, spend spend spend in one hour, and watch a movie with friends over a large 'ger9' of pizza.
Sounds as mindnumbing as reading a book again, right after you finish it....rather you than me though!!
Happy New Year....
I promise to swing by your house while I do my family visit rounds in Eid. Oh I can bring my enterouge! Prepare the ghrayba and gahwa arabiya :) This way..it will not be a quiet house anymore.

3afoor. teaching is the most enjoyable career anyone can ever have. it is also the most rewarding. dealing with students isn't that bad. as i mentioned before, I whine alot.
We all enjoy whining, trust me I enjoy it more. I find that I whine more than anyone else I know :r I nag as well I believe I do, maybe I don't oh well.
