Cairo Day 1.5

Mom brought me home the day before yesterday around 1am. It was fun she has a cab driver she has made friends with called Crazy Magdi. He drove us to Mom's new apartment, all of her roomates are under 30, in fact they are all younger than me. Really nice people, and I met a whole bunch of the because she had a massive X-mas dinner with all of her friends from school planned for yesterday evening, it was a bit overwhelming because of my jetlag but it was also nice. I have access to the internet every day here at Mom's apartment so I will be able to upload pictures of my travels. We leave tonight for our cruise from Luxor to Aswan at 4am our time. This morning I was up around 3am wandering around, my inner clock has not adjusted it'self yet to Egyptian time. I had some nice quiet time with Mom this morning. I have been offered a job at the school which would start in January, they need someone to put together a production for the end of year. I am thinking about it, there are al kinds of reasons to say no, but I'm giving it due consideration, I don't want to dismiss the oppurtunity out of hand. I haven't discussed this with Allan yet. The position would last until the summer, and `i would earn $75 American a day and `I wouldn't have to pay for rent or food.

Jet lag

So it has been an interesting few days. We woke up at 3am and drove over the malahat amid snow flurries, at which point one of our wipers stopped working. We made it to the airport with little time to spare. Had a 6 hour stop over in Toronto, bored stupid. Had a horrible seat mate on the flight to London he stole my pillow! Time is going surrprisingly fast at heathrow, there are SO many people here! Am doing a lot of people watching. Lots of flouro orange suitcases this year must be a trend. I am so exhausted I have been making all kinds of silly mistakes. Also I stink, forgot to put deodorant in my onboad baggage.

Vomit II

So I don't post here that often anymore, and I am going to make a concentrated effort to do more posts, especially while I am in Egypt.

Anyway I have an exam in an hour and quite honestly that has turned my tummy into queezy land. This happens to me every term!! Yesterday before my exam I was retching in the toilet at the library,
"Yeah tah for the books, oh scuse me RRRRRRRAAAAAALLLLLLPPPHHH!!"
Thats how you make friends Naomi style.
Seriously there was this stuning girl in the loo, wearing all kinds of expensive clothes, with her hair and make-up all perfect looking all concerned (but not wrinkeling her brow) asking me if I was ok. LOL I was standing over a toilet in my grubby snow boots, in old jeans, my hair in a messy bun with a $6 t-shirt on thinking fuck-off lady.
"Yup, thanks I'm fine."
She was so nice, and I just wanted her to piss-off.
Honestly vomiting is really just a one person activity. It isn't a spectator sport. I am not bulemic or anorexic and I have sort of grown accustomed to puking on exam days, but thats a little hard to explain to the complete stranger who thinks you are crazy. Argh I just want the evil tummy butterflies to go away, Valerie advised me to sit near the garbage pail just in case. Thanks Mom!

I don't know that everyone would agree with this

Finding a balance

Finding it hard to manage my time between work, school, and leisure. I am working all day every day until my exams when I come home I am totally beat, and being sick all the time sure isn't helping. Allan is being very Allanesque-which is causing problems.
