I Have Not Forgotten

As-salaamu :alai-kum! I have settled again in Oman in my gigantic apartment. We just had the Eid Al Fitir holiday, you might be wondering why I didn't take time to write then. I don't have a response for that. At the moment I am at school. You might be wondering why I write at school. I have a response for that.
My schedule is insane. We have a 4X8 schedule. The students take eight classes each year and four each day. Us teachers teach five classes with three preps. (pause: yeah I know I shouldn't be complaining. I am not! I am sharing!) One day I teach one class and have three preps. The next day I teach four classes without one prep! Wow! This year I will learn to balance when my schedule is unbalanced. One day I am Zen, the next I am asking my students what class it is.
That is why today I write. I will document two days in my life just to introduce you to my life this year.
