i love it when i get money. Yesterday i got paid for the editorial work. Today i found out my royalty check cleared the taiwan bank. Today i closed out one bank account and kept the total in my jeans pocket all day long. it's nice to have all that stuff just come flying in.

K got caught today. She stayed late in the office to do some grading. She also expected students to stop by for help. Just as she was ready to leave, she looked out her office window and Howra'a's mother pulled up and parked behind her car. K quickly closed and locked her office door. Sure enough mother came knocking and demanding to talk to K about Howra'a's grade on the mid semester exam.

Of course K didn't answer the door, and of course mother didn't go away. She stormed up and down the hall pounding on doors and yelling. Finally after 90 min. K called me. She said she just wanted someone to know what was going on, in case mother did something rash.

This is going just too far. A teacher should not be worried about being attacked by an irrate, crazy mother. It's bad enough to have to worry about students' behaviour, but when you have to add the mother factor it has just gone too far.

i got ahold of a Kuwaiti with some clout and he said he would go over and talk to the mother. As luck would have it, about 2 minutes before Mr. Kuwaiti got there, mother left. On Saturday i have to talk with VDSA. He is going to have to talk to the mother. This has to stop. What if Howra'a gets into our faculty? i'm having trouble enough getting people over here to work given the terrorist situation. i don't need to have the ones already here pulling out because some student's crazy mother is making life miserable for us. This sucks.

And the countdown begins. 55 days till i'm back in the land of my birth. i can't help getting excited. 55 days till i leave Master for 6 weeks, makes me sad to think of it. 55 days till the showdown with sister. i'm not happily anticipating that. 55 days till i have to deal with mother. She can make me feel so guilty. Actually she doesn't have to do anything. i just feel guilty around her. 55 days till i see daughter and son. These are going to be long long days. i miss those two toads so much. 55 days till a really long and boring plane ride. Gad, i hate flying. Unfortuantely it's too far to walk, and i can't drive through Saudi. Yuck Yuck! 55 days until i start the countdown to the beginning of the new school year. Man oh man, how weird is that?

i'm gone. No iron is calling, i'm just done.
