Traffic...

Traffic is Egypt is one of the main evils that ruin my life.

It bothers me mainly because I do not understand it.

Egyptians are excellent drivers.... until there are choices.
Until there are intersections or exits or whatever.

These options fuck traffic up.
These options confuse people.
These options can hold the country at a stand still...

I have decided that when I am that important person who is in charge of organizing the traffic in this country I will rid us of lanes. I will not paint white lines on the streets. I will have cement fucking lane dividers!
I think that if the whole country were forced to drive in straight lines life would be great!!!

No options means no traffic!

Egypt this year is better than last year...

Egypt has been the last thing on my mind lately. I have not been analyzing why things are like that like I would last year.
This year I feel like I couldn't care less. I think I just ahve a lot on my mind lately.
I also think that this year things are better than last year. I am not being harrassed as much as last year. Cars rarely follow me to my building anymore. People don't touch me in the streets anymore.
I do not know why things have changed, but I am grateful. I have a lot to deal with and I really don't think I could handle that on top of everything else.

I am still a teacher. I enjoy it. The school I am at this year is so much better than the one I was at last year. The parents of most of the kids are a lot better than last year. It is a refreshing thought to know that there are some good parents out there.
I still have a student whose parents seem to not care. She is so neglected it makes me want to cry. I guess the world over has parents who don't care. I guess that only one kid is better than the whole class like last year. I guess that I will always be hurt when I meet kids I feel are neglected. I guess I will always care.
