We're past one-third

You know what makes Ramadan go by like, so quickly? Despite the feeling that you have like, 36 hours per day - in my case, it does not feel like so as I spend most of my afternoons sleeping away. I know. Makruh. >.<

So that's kinda why. We got so many things going on in a day. I am actually behind right now with my marking. I don't wanna force the kids to finish their work on time, there & then, before I walk out the class. That's a torture, don'tcha think? So yeah, I told them, "do your work, don't rush. Take your time, but what's important is you do it. Submit when you're finished."

As a result, I got hold of their books after I am done teaching the whole topic. Well, I did get hold of them earlier, but I always ended up giving them back because I myself couldn't find time to mark. Morning teaching, afternoon sleeping, dusk eating, night Terawih.

In the midst of this all, I still find time reminiscing Ramadan in Cairo. It always brings me close to tears. I really miss that place during Ramadan. Dearly.

I really wanna go back there. Really. Really.

Perhaps in my spare time (like right now) I should go & have a talk with my _________ (can't yet find a unique word for it. But nyeh, I no believe in labels anymore, thank you), but I don't really like talking too long on the phone. We run out of things to say. At least when we go out or you know, just hang at his or my place, the silence does not necessarily mean you're gone. Presence still there. So beat that, phone & FB inbox.

So what I'm trying to say is, I think I'd rather go take a nap. I think I'll have that nap now. Thanks.
