My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • They lookThey stareThey smileThey hissThey laughThey proposeThey walk with an air of importance Am I just an object to them?Am I just a vessel for pleasure to them?Am I meant to be submissive to them?Am I valued at all as a human being to them? Some say it is culture.Some say it is religion.Some say it is the color of my skin.Some say it is the slant of my eyes.Some say it is…

  • There is a smile on my face Put there by you There is joy in my heart Placed there by you There are not adequate words to express My feelings for you How my heart aches to be Next to you How my body aches to be Close to you How my eyes ache to be Gazing at you -T ~April 10, 2009

  • Egypt is a short 3.5 hour flight from Abu Dhabi. I chose to take advantage of my first term break to spread my wings for the first time all by myself. Upon arriving in Cairo, it was a fairly efficient task to get through the airport. I bought a visa stamp from the bank/money changer. The banker tried to hit on me, but I kindly said thank you for my money and went…

  • (I had planned to update regularly while on my trip, but alas Internet is hard to come by, thus I will do so slowly when I return and unfortunately, pictures will have to be viewed then as well.) Since I was 8-years-old and heard about the great pyramids, I have wanted to see them. In junior high school, I was so involved in a school project on Egypt and King Tut, that I…

I have new people in my lifeSome are female, most are maleYet, I already get the question to cause me strife“What’s going on with you two?” comes up without fail.

Yet, I find in being aloneI am finding the real meI am learning about who I amI am…

  • At last the internet has been connected at home! So, I will be slowly updating my regular website with photos of my apartment and activities. Now that “Home” is in Abu Dhabi, I will return this blog to updates on my travels. However, I may still put some bits and pieces here about settling in and such as travel tips to the UAE.

From day one, she has interrupted me while I was speaking to tell me that she didn’t have a handout since she hadn’t been to the first classes, or that she had a totally unrelated question.
