Fancy fountains and other such things.

About a week ago I went out for dinner with a friend next to this beautiful fountain of magnificence. Little children squealing when the music started, people from all over the world running to get as close as possible and take pictures, lovers holding hands whilst watching from benches scattered all over the boardwalk. It was truly a beautiful evening. I took pictures of the Dubai aquarium inside the mall, but unfortunately, the camera I took them with failed me, and so, you shall have to wait until I go again before you can behold an inadequate depiction of the amazing combination of marine life in that one huge box of water. Or you can google it. Whatever suits your fancy.

I started teaching about five days ago, and I am already tired. But I love my students and my trusty morning coffee is always there to greet me when I wake up groggy and mostly unaware of my surroundings, so that helps things. I am trying to sort through my red pen fever and sticker fever, but otherwise, I am very much comfortable in the classroom with my students. I am so glad I was assigned to teach fifth grade girls. They are the best. And I'm pretty sure they think I'm the best too.

I hope to hear from you soon. You must e-mail me. I have not heard from some of you in so long that it is no longer acceptable. Yalla.

His,
Carmen
