It's been an extremly intense and exhausting week trying to be at three places at once...and that's when i realized it's simply not fair to do it..u lose more than u gain simply coz u let the people u value the most down, and put those close to ur heart on hold for a while...

But it has been an awesome week still, quite the outgrowth experience. I had Anna from Germany staying with me for a week and she's simply amazing, so free and yet so resposnible and open, her insights and many experiences just took me to other worlds and to have her with me every second of the day made me step out of my shoes and look into my life...me running around , all busy and careless with the fun beat in my heart..skeptical is what they called me in the end!

proved to not pretend to like people..i am who am, and i'm not going out of my way to to put it in other ways...cost me a lot of professors for that matter.

But the whole german goup was so full of life and spirit, looking beyond the papers we see and into the future to shape...looking at cairo as more than just monuments but movements and a long road of reform to which there is much to promise and more obstacles to be faced. Raising questions for more questions to be raised.

I can't wait to see you in Berlin Anna.

And then there was MAL, the passion and love for change, for unifying our efforst, for freindships growing together, Anna asked me why models are so important to us here and i said coz they give us the sphere to get together and imagine a differet scenario, to learn from the other who you are, get detcahed from everything else runing in ur life and look at the world from newer perspectives flowing from all over and share that with people who u have to admit that they have become more important to u than u realize. They are you freinds who u want to grow with.

Things were just flowing, my days running from the seminar to EU sessions to MAL to @ meetings and even if it got out of hand, there was a valuable lesson for me always lying in the corner and a valuable person to meet.

Now, i'm just trying to sleep a little bit more than 5 hours a day and wake up later than 5 a.m but it wont last for long as soon as i realize how much catching up i have to do for exams adding to our 6 weeks plan but i decided that as of today i will call at least one person every day who meant something to me at one point or another... there are people who deserve the appreciation.
