happy new year
been busy again.i skipped the first week of the semester because my mom really wanted me to stay with the family in egypt. it didn't take much convincing :P
so my vacation was extended an extra week. however, being me, i couldn't really enjoy it. work was always on my mind :S im worried about missing anything important. but i managed my checking the courses website and tried to keep up with the reading.
egypt, as always, is a mix of being cool and frustrating at the same time. the wedding we attended was great! they got Hakim and Nancy Agram =) yeeesss... she's as pretty in real life as on TV. took some nice pix as well.
i almost lost my diamond bracelet! GOD! i almost had a heart attack. thankfully, my beloved sis found it as soon as she pointed out that it was missing. mom doesn't know...hehehe.
the interesting change that i don't feel like going out as i used to. again my sister tries to arrange a nice evening and i just follow the plan. i wish i can be more fun, just for her. she's really great. but i can't help it. i got other things on my mind all the time. i know i could be a bore now at this phase of my life.
sigh....
as i expected, it was so hard to leave. my flight back to canada was very early in the morning. i kissed my sister and brother while they were asleep then went to my parent's room. they were awake. i got choked up, which i knew came across as being cold :( i gave them a good hug and left as quickly as possible so i don't break down. driver was waiting, loaded my bags and left to Cairo's airport.
the flight was ok. got to know an interesting egyptian VC from California. six hours later, i was at heathrow. i LOVE heathrow. checked my email, had a smoothie and went for a little bit of shopping =) called my parents. they were on their way to a cruise to Luxor and Aswan. i really missed that :(
12 hours later, i was across the atlantic back in toronto. they gave me a hard time at customs for a strange reason. a good friend from the program picked me up with his wife. 4 hours later i was in my apartment. back home, at last =)
wait, did i just call Waterloo 'home' ?????
oh well, if anything, one thing i'm proud of. i did it =) i proved to myself i can travel on my own. airports dont scare me anymore. i didn't freak out and i didn't end up in Syberia.
now im thrown back in a whirlpool of work. happily, i'm on top of things =) i love it!
