I feel wonderful tonite!

Yes, I'm quoting Clapton! (but that's how I feel...and also happened to hear a cover of the Clapton song in an Egyptian movie tonight)

Big day with the last of my exams and my final time in my classrooms. *sniff* I also ran around Tanta on errands, saying goodbyes, trying to get some photos printed, etc.

The only downer was an email waiting for me when I got back. *sigh*

Months ago, I applied for a volunteer program called "The Climate Project" which is a program to get Al Gore's word out about the environment. They wanted people to be trained as presenters of his message and then do talks. I thought my skills/interests were perfect for it. Unfortunately, the folks at the program seem to feel otherwise. *frown*

They emailed today to say that I will _not_ be invited to the training sessions, but that I can host some small group discussions about a DVD of "An Inconvenient Truth, and Al Gore’s award-winning documentary". So...don't be surprised if I invite you to a showing in January!

I'm disappointed, but at least I know the situation now. I had been really looking forward to the possibility of going to these training sessions and then traveling around a bit to make presentations. Now, I just need to swich gears and put my energy in a different direction.

First exam = finished

Got back from a great weekend around Fayoum.

Fun with friends last night, then tonight gave an exam and said goodbye to a group of students. *frown*

I'll try to write this week b/c Internet access will be a bit unpredictable after I move on Thursday.
