ok, ok, I'll update...

Alright, the month of February here's how things went down: I got sick--hello bronchitis...and I took my first sick day EVER! Everyone in school has gotten sick at least once if not more than once in the course of the last three weeks. I survived yet another round of parent/teacher conferences and came out smelling like a rose...parents love me, kids are finally getting it--they try to argue me THEY WILL LOOSE! I didn't kill anything or anyone in the last month (always a plus). And the seniors have had two organized skip days--these are the best days ever for me! I have NO KIDS which means NO TEACHING.

Also, fellow teacher Josh, had his A/C on for 6 hours one day this week--just to let everyone know yep, This Is Bahrain. The weather is beautiful and I still like not having snow!

the city I live in...


The pics above are two of the better shots on my afternoon drive with Rhonda (fellow teacher). The top pic is the skyline and the bottom pic is one of the several bridges from Marraq to Manama...but this one was pretty.
