11 giugno Comfort Foods This past month has been absolutely insane. It seems every year we are in Cairo, the months of May and June get more and more manic. Why is that? Is it the same every year, or are we just more connected with people, or more intimately involved with situations requiring our attention??
There is a Greek tragedy going on at the school at this particular time. I will not go into the details, except to say that some of us are hoping to win "Survivor" and not get voted off the island, or out of the car, or whatever. The pressure has been absolutely insane, and I'm not suffering directly from it - there are others who have had to shoulder much bigger burdens than I (Kelvin included.) But I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we will be glad to have this year finished. But for most of our students, it has been a good year. And as always, I find myself already starting to miss my kids, and feeling sad about leaving them.
The one thing that I really looked forward to tonight was stopping at McDonald's on my way home, and ordering a Big Mac Combo, supersized, please. I am so thankful that these small comforts are available, and that we can afford to splurge once in a while. I am thoroughly enjoying my "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun" this evening! I have a colleague that can say it backwards...apparently at one point (and I am thinking I am far too young to remember this) you could get a Big Mac free if you could say it backwards in under 3 seconds. I'll have to try it when I'm back home..has anyone else tried it?
