Today is the last day of class, the worst day of the year for me. I hate saying goodbye to students. Every semester I get to know a number of students. Some are old students from my days as a school teacher. Some are interestingly bold and original in their way of thinking. Some are a raging volcano of emotions and thoughts under a quiet facade. Some are still learning to gain a voice. Some are struggling with balancing family and school. Some I enjoy teasing and some take pleasure in teasing me. But all are such a pleasure to teach and an honor to know. To my 475 class and to those who graduated before, I dedicate this post.
Away from politics 2:
The maid I borrow from my sister twice a week to clean the house has to go back home. After finding a suitable candidate, I went to apply for her visa armed with the necessary papers only to be told that they need a recent divorce paper, not more than 6 months old. What's the logic behind this? 6 months? I'd understand, or can pretend to understand, 3 months, as a woman cannot remarry within three months of her divorce. But 6? What would happen in 6 months that can't happen in 3?
Away from politics 3:
I was supposed to join Walk the World with my friend yesterday. She couldn't take the day off so I decided not to go alone. But later on I decided to go to release some stress (not caused by the latest political events but by personal matters). Is it still supporting Child Hunger is my cause was a fresh walk on the beach for exercise and for stress release?
I leave you with pictures of the event:

Your question is why they ask for 6 month divorce paper ??
soud
All official papers need to be up to date and should not exceed the 6 months span, still no logic in it, but I don't think
it's confined only to divorce papers.
I was planning on going to the marathon & I wanted to go with you but then I had some stress since your brother is away)that I needed to be released
so I hung out with your too lazy sisters (shoof meen 3am ye7ki)

shopa. Imagine the following situation:
Respectful Kuwaiti woman walks out of bedroom in the middle of the night to get a drink of water. At the same time the indian/driver heads to kitchen for the same purpose. They collide. A spark is ignited. Respectful Kuwaiti lady runs away to India with driver. The horror. The horror.

What's wrong with you? Why aren't you feeling OK?
I wonder if our teachers ever remember us, 'cause i'd love to know where some of them are right now, especially one Iraqi lady that was my Physics Professor who, for known reasons, was kicked out of Kuwait. Are all teachers as goog as you are?
Oh and what's up with the bloggers' gathering? Any plans?
