2nd letter to Naima
Its been over a month now that you have been gone and to tell you the truth most of us haven't missed you in the slightest (joke).
I can’t believe shukri has popped over to Egypt for a week. But its good new for you as we piled Shukri with all the goodies me a muna could think off.
Life definetaly goes on things that have happened:
I ‘ave been adopted by muna cos she loves me ha ha ha.
The party was such a danceathon my feet were so sore it’s not a joke. Then when we got back home Jude and dizzy decided talk till the crack of dawn I could have killed them both.
The next day was the wedding and was that a manic rush I was incharge of the project which Scout twin had asked me to set up but when I got there I couldn’t get the screen to work then once I did that we couldn’t find an extension lead to plug in the projector.
The Teacher twin looked like a proper princess she was gorgeous. The setting was informal and you missed me looking Wooohooo he he he.
Sadia was there with Nadia, Sofia and Shabham it was nice seeing everyone together. Sadia wedding is only six weeks away. Arghhhhhh (I haven’t thought of a present yet). She is soo stressed poor little bunny.
The weather here keeps fluctuating between windy and clear. One minute it looks like it’s a nice summers day the next it looks like the storm of the century. I give up.
I brought a car lol(with Dizzy of course). Its navy blue with a couple of scratches but for grand and 100 what more could I ask for.
Right enough about us and now to you
Where are you now in the wider sense of the word?
You’re probably feeling slightly homesick but you are still buzzing that you are here.
You still have to pinch yourself that you are here and its not a dream that some is going to wake you up from.
You will look at the beaches (well the nice bits) run the sand through your fingers and know that you are here.
You can stand at the sea edge and wander in amazement of the sea crashing at your feet and how small you are in comparison to the sea. That every pull of the sea pulls at you to join some thing bigger than you.
Watching the sea and you will feel the calmest you have ever been and the best bit is it will only get better. You will hear the roar of the sea in your soul and sometimes you can hear it lulling you to sleep even though you may not be anywhere near it.
By now you will have found the nice places to eat i.e. the grand and the fish market (near Abu Abbas) which is expensive but for a Friday night out its cool.
You will have smelt Khalid bin Walid the longest road in Alexandria. You find the weird and wonderful things that are available. You can get an eyeliner for a pound.
Scarves are more expensive here so wait till you do a visit to Cairo and you are more fluent in the language.
Hows the food?
There is the fish bloke at the end (or the of the begin depends on your point of view)of the road he’s really nice and for 90p(English) you can get like 2 fried fish.
If you across over Khalid Bin Walid and walk toward the sea on the same road you will see the internet café but more interesting is the bread man you get five pieces of bread for 10p.
Grab some lemons of the cart and you have a ready made meal.
Breakfast may be an issue especially if you have morning lesson as most place are just getting ready.
But if you have a nice fridge, get some fruit the day before and you will be fine.
Say salaam to Shireen and tell her I teach one of her ex students Serena
Have you made any mates? Silly question I know you could make friends with the guy sat next to you on the bus. Ha ha ha
Hows Sara ? she getting ready for her wedding and she is the one to ask about the specs but make sure that you have your prescription ready.
Blow a kiss into the air for me in the air to say I miss Egypt.
Love ya

Some interesting info about starfish below….
I thought it was funny so i thought i would share!!!!
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour
(Don't try this at home, maybe at work)
The flea can jump 350 times its body length.
It's like a human jumping the length of a football field
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(Hmmmmmm......)
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (Okay, so that would be a good thing)
A cat's urine glows under a black light.(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. ( I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains (I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to, maybe even a chuckle.

Letter 1 to Naima.
To my long bean of a friend who decided to abandon me for the dizzying joys of arabic
Its been 2 weeks since you’ve gone. And man does it feel strange not only cos there is no one to beat up but when you text I have to text back instead of ringing you back damm it. Things are nice an' slow in terms of change here.
Oh yeah the insurance company where not going to give me a replacement phone so I rang on the hour every hour until they said they were going to give me a replacement or money to replace it.
They soooooooooooo had no idea who they were messing with. That’s all the excitement that’s happened so far.
On Saturday we did a do for Sara and Eman they are off to London. Gutted!!!!!
And that was the start of the really funky weather. There was so much fog that Jude didn’t make it to Manchester. And everyone was driving about 10 miles an hour.
We are in the middle of a frost snap. Its like -1.5 at the moment and at night it falls down to -3 or 4.
So while you may think its cold in Egypt its got nothing on Manchester. Its also suppose to snow 2mrw emmmm.
I have been to 2 Arabic lessons with Native uncle. He’s really sweet. My last homework took about 4 hrs to do on a Saturday.
Cos of your blog there is nothing to ask really bout how things are going and how settled you are.
Your flat mates sound really nice. Man I wish I was there , I can’t even afford the airfare to come over in Easter. And you are coming back to England before I can come over in the summer.
I am glad the books are coming handy, I mean there wasn’t much that I could give or advise you on. As your parent had already given you the religious knowledge to fall back on, your sisters had given you love and support, and me I gave noodles and books.
My gift to you isn’t a thoughtless one as some may think but those who know you and me know that reading is not a hobby or just something we do for the sake of it.
Its like the need to drink water, if we don’t get the right amount of water we get slightly grumpy.
The noodles were the emergency food as I wasn’t too sure of your cooking skills been the last time you cooked for me was ermmmmmmmm never.
Dude you have to see the size of my new bag, its huuuuuuuuuuge and all because my green bag has taken a trip to a different continent, sigh! sigh!
Wot else is there!! Nothing much but guess what’s coming on TV over here…….
Harry Dresden the series ha ha ha
You can see the trailers on you tube.
Love loads your nutter of a friend

point me in the right direction
Looking around me I wonder where everyone fits and where I fitting.
Sometimes I feel like a square peg trying to fit in a slot that’s circular.
I want to foster I really do but then I get the but shouldn’t I get married first or aren’t you a bit young. Apparently been in your twenties is when you should be selfish.
That a load of crock. I can be selfish when I want to be, when I just want to shut everyone out and read or hide my junk food from everyone. That’s my selfish I can’t see wot other things would bother me about having children.
Plus has anyone thought maybe just maybe I am not meant to be married and this is wot I am suppose to be doing. Think about all the money i would save that could go towards a nice house. Can someone explain that to my family pls!!!!!
I don’t think its like I want to be know as martyr or a saint I want to do something that changes the society that we live in.
Some people are great cos they have the political ambition, can take the time out to join groups that kind of thing. Others speak out in their art whether its written or drawn.
Me I just want the one to one change. I believe that if every capable muslim couple took in a child who needed care we would not be in the situation that we are in. Did you know there is only a small minority of people who are muslim foster parents in Manchester.
Why fostering………………………………………………………………………
Because at the end of the day that one child that I may have had a chance to save from harm or future harm.
Also there are so many forms of fostering, I can become a foster parent straight way or start of with lodgers i.e. kids who are 16-17 that are going to be exiting the care system.
I can have this conversation with loads of different types of people but there hasn’t been one who has said yeah actually go and do it, who cares if you are married or not.
I mean why am I dependant on a fella who I then have to take into consideration.
I want someone to say yes you are right and maybe it’s the thing you are meant to do.
Which is why I feel like a square peg cos I want children and I don’t mind if they are mine, his or anyone’s.
To feel the unconditional love that children have for their carer is the one thing you can never buy.

Again people there is only a limited amount of things that I can say that happens in my life. Much of which is unlikely to amuse, or entertain you.
Let me break it down
I go to work, go the gym. Come home, mark exam papers, annoy Shams if he’s not a sleep and that is it.
If I manage to get a spare minute I am doing my Arabic homework, helping out college at the annual play or trying to read.
Oh and trying to find a car, a job for a couple of people and applying for TESOL courses for over the summer.
Marriage wise there have been some serious disappointment.
I am no further in my 2 year than I was 3 months ago.
Ladies my life is sooooooooooo mundane. The only spark at the moment is reading new books.
Everyone has managed to get away or something is happening in their lives which is why its nice reading other peoples as they have things to say.
Actually I do have things to say but they are more rhetorical rambles of a really bored person.
So people that cover its.

Time for the tide to change
Salaam,
People I want all of you to stand up and be counted as British Muslims.
We are going to deal with crappiness of the hajj visa system. There is no way the Saudi government can get away with being an ostrich any more.
I want you people to join me in a petition and letter writing session to the embassy and the Saudi government to object to the corrupt system that they have in place which is causing so much torment to people.
I was soo depressed and upset yesterday about the news that I wasn’t going to hajj. However I went to my local Islamic circle and guess what I was hearing I was hearing that the reason me and so many people were not going to hajj was because the price of the hajj visa had risen to £700.
However
Did you know that the Hajj visa are FREE and what people are paying for through the nose is bribes.
And fair enough it may be not my destiny not to go however there is no way I am going to take this laying down.
For goodness sake people what are is happening here!!!
Its not enough that most people can’t go when they are healthy and fit cos they have to spend their youth saving up for them to go to hajj. But they then they have to deal with the corrupt system of the obtaining a visa.
I say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Its time to change
Its time to stop saying its because of the hajj period!
It’s not because of Hajj. It been Hajj period has nothing to do with the corrupt and nasty side of people that comes out during this period.
Its shameful that Muslims are so disorganised and that everyone accepts it.
Not any more people and NO WAY NO HOW
Come on people stand and be counted!!!!!
For the all the muslims who are going Pls pray for all of us and May Allah grant you peace and safety.

Its time to stop saying its because of the hajj period!
It’s not because of Hajj. It been Hajj period has nothing to do with the corrupt and nasty side of people that comes out during this period.
Its shameful that Muslims are so disorganised and that everyone accepts it.
Not any more people and NO WAY NO HOW
Come on people stand and be counted!!!!!
For the all the muslims who are going Pls pray for all of us and May Allah grant you peace and safety.

A long time gone
Salaam, salaam,
Its been a while come this blog of mine. However its strange I don’t feel the compulsion to write about my days.
Mainly because its work then home and then work again.
I have had are really mad buying spree on Amazon. Its not funny, last time it did this I just realised I had disposable income and I could actually use it the way I wanted to so I slightly went nuts. So my action to overcome that was to allocate my self £20 each month and if I didn’t buy anything I didn’t buy any thing I didn’t get a rollover either.
And there have been some slip up but not as bad as the last couple of weeks.
I have such a strong compulsion to read that I truly think I am addicted or am I addicted to bargains or both. A quandary I am sure that I will solve if I really wanted to hurt my head about it.
Some people say that most readers become writers but I have truly never felt the need. Sometimes I have thought I could have written a better ending if the book started off well.
Also the amount t of reading I do doesn’t actually seem to help my spelling. When I read I don’t see the words I actually see the scene the characters and the action that’s happening.
An example of that was Vikram Seth a suitable boy. I read it and finished it but boy was that hard work.
However there are some books that describe every little thing which doesn’t actually seem to catch my interest I find them harder to read than books with minimum detail.
Right enough about reading
I have joined a dancing class which just illustrates how lacking I am in any sense of rhythm or coordination Arrggghh but its funny any way.
I am trying to walk more and I have been to the gym once a week but I am going to move that up to 3 times a week so I can get fit for Hajj.
I have been injected with the neccessary vaccines and all the stuff has been sent off to get my visa, Its four weeks people till we go. Yay yay yay. InshAllah.
Other than that my life has been blah blah.
Take care and Peace

The blue sky like blue bubble gum (who sung that)
Jeeez louise people am trying write in my blog but every time I sit down I have to go off and down something which I should have done ages ago.
News flash
Saniya has had a baby which has been renamed Sulyeman from Peanut.
Will post some pics up as soon as I get a chance to get down to see her and baby. IA.
That really about it.
Other than that its been work, trying to got to Arabic class and trying to find a house to invest in so I can start my two year plan.
My two year plan is something I am not ready to discuss yet because I need to iron a couple of things out but as I will be turning 26 at the end of the year I feel I need to become more proactive in my life and move it along otherwise I feel like I will have stagnated and just let things pass over me.
There have been times where I have wanted to sit down and write loads of stuff up that’s in my head but as I get busy I forget what they are and they float to the la la land where ideas go if they aren’t acted on.
However the other day I had some time and sat down and wrote things out that were just on my mind and it is therapeutic when you have a pen and paper in your hand and you write until your hand hurts.
Then I ripped it up and I felt better.
Words have the power to heal or hurt and the word I wrote down was every thing that was stuck in my head buzzing around and around.
Looking at the words on the paper I saw there were issues that I was worrying about but there was nothing for me to do about them.
So the challenge is now to overcome my neurotic tendencies and live with what I can and deal with the rest of the stuff as it happens rather than worrying about what maybe and what may not be.
Other News
Which may or may not be news is I planning to go to Hajj.
However there may be a change in plan as the timings aren’t as I want them to be.
The group is hoping that we leave on the 20th dec and come back on the 7th Jan but the issue is that I have to be back on the 8th . However pls can everyone do Dua and so that if I do go that I get the flight back on time and don’t have to get in trouble with work.
Thanks ppl.
Right am off to do my job.

Demo- where were you people!!!
On Saturday it was the Manchester demo it was fantastic.
My mum wentwith us, she was determined to go . She said as it was in Manchester she had a duty to attend. Mum can’t travel by coach or for a long time as she has a dodgy back so she missed other demos.
As I was walking along I was amazed at the array of different people that were there from young teenagers(which gave me faith in the younger generation) and old ladies who were so old that they had to stopped every few minutes but were determined to make it around the march.
Mr Extermely naughty person (formerly know as Mr Sunshine) was there but he was more interested in the sticks that held the banners so he could wave it around.
But I was a beautiful day and people where out support a cause it was great.
The only down side was there weren’t as many Muslims as I hoped there to be also when we went walking through market street to get to the MYF I saw just about the same amount of people just shopping not bothered that there was a demo on ,it right annoyed.
Look who I found on Yahoo News

Have you written yet????
Salaam people
Right Blogging bloging people.
Any exciting parts of my life at this moment is really no existent. It’s a very mundane.
Very year I make the resolution I will stay on top my work and from the moment the phrase pass my mouth I fall behind. This year was due to complete jet lag.
As most my circle of friends were aware I landed on Monday and I started work on Tuesday.
So the first week was spent nodding off every time there was no one in the room with me.
Then comes Inspection time and Ucas references for students I taught last year for most of them I had to lie and say they were average behaved kids then they were the most rotten little gargoyles know to the education system,.
Other then that it really.
The kids are not to bad however I have only had then a couple of weeks. But there are some Toerags (which sounds good but doesn’t seem to have the same effect in writing huh!!) in my foundation group.
Marriage I am becoming (MD would I already was) a real cynic. There are issues that everyone faces but there seems to be more now than every before.
What else is happening in my life nothing really well and truly.
I had complaints that people haven’t seen my face for the last couple of weeks . I apologise but at this moment in time I am trying to stay on top of work so I have started to go into work for 8 am and finish by 5pm which means I am completely shattered as I have to get up at about 6.30. And yes other people do it normally put I haven’t had to.
So I making the effort to do most of my paperwork on time and not bring it home which isn’t really happening yet but it will IA.
And I would like that it has taken me three days to write this because every time I sit down to write it I have to go and do something else.
And its not my fault ppl.
Will try and write something interesting later on but nothing happens in my life, other than been under house arrest from my mum or trying to sneak drives on Khal’s car (which is a booooooooootiful car to drive)

Back to rain, back to reality
Salaam Ppl
For those who are not in the know i am back in
To top it all off i am back at work.
I am glad to be back but I feel soo disorientated and disconnected that its like a really surreal out of body experience sometimes. Plus i can barely keep my eyes open after
Its strange i always think that things will be completely different from what i left then from but not that much has changed. But then i again i haven't seen all my mates yet have i??????????
But thats all folks as bugs bunny would say.

Salaam Ppl
Am not sure how many are reading at the moment so it a blanket salaam.
Right whathappen so far, well other than going to school and back and doing homwork (which i may add is never right) thanks about it.
I told my mum the only time i see the sea is when i am on the bus going and coming from school. I just wave at it. But the arabic and the tajweed class are worth it because i am learning loads but it basic stuff that i knew but am having to realearn it cos its all wrong.
We went to cairo for the weekend taht was fun!!!. we went to hafsa sisters wedding it was complete diffrerent to hafsa wedding. This one ended at about 2.30 ish
then prayed jummah at Alzhar again then we went to look at the citadel and tried looking for yusuf well but we couldn't find it so about 5.00ish gave up and went to pray asr at Alzhar.
After than we went to look for the blue mosque which was a trek and half(did you know there are only 3 blue mosques in the world). But by the time we found it was closed not amused at all.
then it was off to the hotel for a clean and dinner. we had dinner on a boat in the nile (it was stationary thank you God).
the next day it was off to see the pyrminds but thats another story and half , then it was back to Alex.
Right ppl if you want me to buy you swimming costumes which have long sleves and legging attached to them text me on the no that ends in 785.
Cool ppl will try write in a week or so. my time is running out.
Miss me and pray for me.
Mwah mwah

Salaam Ppl,
I am 12 days into my trip and bi\oy has it been eventful.
We started in cairo where we spent about a day and a half most of which was spent in Al Ahzar Mosque. I toook the guys to the mango guy near the mosque and they agree he is really good for 20p a glass.
Then it was off to Alex by train which cost 4 pound english for first class and it was nice other than the incesstant mobile ring tones . the first night was horrendous (don't tell my mum) the hotel(leroy it had never been cleaned) that we booked into was really nasty so we spent most of the night looking for another one. Which we found about 12am so we went bck and got our stuff and moved in that night. We alos booked in to another hotel(TROMPHE) for 2mrw.
The next day was spent sleeping by me as i hadn't sleep for the last four days. The next day we were suppose to started at school but i couldn't becuase i had the runs and a really bad stomch ache.
Went in the next day to skl with out luggage as we ere suppose to be moving into skl accomadation. So went there and i swear to you it was minging but not on the same level as leroy. However after 2 hours of trying to clean and it not getting any better oi gave you and went to have a nap about 30 mins later i woke up with flea bites all over me. so i told maryam i was moving so we rang the tromphe for to find out if there was any room for about a month they said yes and we decided in the morning were moving again.
went to skl and told them we didn't want it and after class we went to the hotel.
And we have been there since and i still have a stomach ache so i am in a love hate relationship with food at the moment. But i still haven't fallen ill I never get any benefits ,really ppl you'd think i would get better or at least lose weight.
Arabic is soooooo Cool and tajweed is even better. The best thing i chose to do was to do 2 hrs of tajweed. My teacher is so harsh but she is really funny she thinks i am off my cake but hey thats normal.
The funny thing is a try and practise my arabic and then when ppl respind i have no clue wot they are say so i have to ask ion english anyway.
The reception ppl in the hotel are really cool they keep trying to teach us new words to use. adn cos i get up early in the morning to practise my tajweed the night recpetionist ( a really old bloke) help me practise my tajweed.
Alex is really growing on me. the sea is every where you look (on the main road) we have yet to go swimming but IA next week somethine.
Thius weekend were are going to cario for hafsa little sisters wedding which is another freak stroy guest for the wedding were on the same flight as us coming to cairo.
right ppl i try next week to post some thing soon.
Love ya all and miss ya loads

Detox, poltics and marking
I need the toilet, the toilet.
People if there isn’t a nearby empty your bladder facilities I suggest that you don’t do the 4 bottles a day detox.
I have three major events coming up where I am suppose to looking my best. I am not going to be able to the lose about 5 stones but hey my skin can look great right.
So I have just finished my first bottle (its taken me 3 hours) and I have been once to the water closet but I need to go again. But I can't alas I have to teach the joys and lights of life my students.
Plus I am starving, its not like I have stopped eating but I am really hungry. I ate my sandwich at 11:30 when normally I eat bout 1pm.
Is this normal?
I got my visa back from the Egyptian embassy and I am set to go! No I am not, I still have to pack and do my shopping for it blah blah
Was suppose to go to kateebah but things happened so I am not going however I now have to join the tallah kateebah because I have missed to many. When I am pondering on this I don’t seem to be getting a anxiety feeling nor I am I feeling really depressed about. I should feel some loss or something about missing it?
I have I lost my sense of motivation about the Duaat program? I am not sure I think I need to seriously consider where I am going with this and how I am to deal with my atrophied feelings towards the program.
I have been trying to recruit and raise awareness about the new northwest Program. I have meeting with the Head ISOC of the local uni’s and they don’t seem to be very interested in the concept nor do they seem to feel any guilty of not attending one.
As they have so many other commitments the program seems to be at the end of their things to do list.
So who am I to sit judgement on what they should be doing to improve themselves?
Another thing is I thought most Muslim groups were on trying to make this world a better place but in the last few weeks its given me an opposite view. Its bad enough that there are people who are trying to bring us down but why in the name of the most merciful are we ( MAB, ISOC,FOSIS etc) creating dissension between each other. In the last couple of days there has been so much politics in the way each group deals with each other its amazing we all don’t run for government. There is a group against group mentality and I wish I could get the heads of all the groups in one room and roar at them for been so petty.
At the end of the day everyone is doing their piece to make our corner of the world a better place and we need to recognise each other for the work each of us do and notto dish each other for their efforts. Here’s a unique idea how about we all get together and try to work together, if we have ideas that run on the same level why not combine out forces and make it a fantastic project not a mediocre one.
Phew that turned out to me more than I meant to right but its here and I am not taking it back.
Nothing really interesting has happened, because of my marking am at home more, mum and me are having nice little conversations as she can pin me down and I don’t (or can’t) really go anywhere else.
I am now paper 206 and I have 46 more papers to finish for Saturday. But I really need to finish for Wednesday as I am on a training days Thursday and Friday.
See how that goes.

I wish i was a punk rocker
Where am i ?
In the middle of the lesson am suppose to be teaching.
Nm is whinging that I am not providing her with entertainment. I apologise but at this moment in time I am marking. Its brain draining truly it is because you have to attempt to
decipher what the kids have written not only is their hand writing really bad but a lot of them can even structure their sentences.
All I have had time for is, sneaking in reads of my book.
Why is it when I have marking all I want to do put it off until have finished my book?
I was on a roll seriously people, I got organised and I was meeting my personal quota then I get the bad news I am marking to harshly and I have to stop until I get my sample back. Which also meant I had to remark the 75 (I counted exactly) papers. I was so not amused.
So now I have to get may self back into the swing of things which is quite hard.
But I also have to organise my Egypt trip am going nearly 2 half weeks time . I finally sent of for my visa Yeah yeah. I am going
Dear God I am going.
I just felt the nerves of anxiety go through me. IA I will be fine.
Okay breathe lets think about other things
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghh I can’t
I can only think of things that I need to do before I go.
Seriously feeling the anxiety
Okay lets try breathing again.
Marriage front- I am just tired of rejections and of been jealous of people who are already there and happy.
But am also terrified of the whole thing. I mean whose to say we know that the person or if I thought he was the person and he’s not. What if he changes into a person I can’t even understand never mind thought I loved and trusted with my whole soul and body.
I know there people I know who have beautiful marriages and other are having a hard time of it.
But I can’t help the pessimistic side of me which appears when marriages and their problems come up. I don’t have a solid background of happy marriage and I have serious trust issue with the opposite gender.
So is the grass green on the other side not really I mean I would get some benefits but I don’t think they would outweigh the perks of been single.
But life goes on, you worry for people, ask Allah to guide them and ease their suffering and leave it there.
I forgotten how easy it is to write and see things on paper.
Right that should do for now I am going to go back to teaching.
TKC my people
Love and salaam (Peace)
In the middle of the lesson am suppose to be teaching.
Nm is whinging that I am not providing her with entertainment. I apologise but at this moment in time I am marking. Its brain draining truly it is because you have to attempt to
decipher what the kids have written not only is their hand writing really bad but a lot of them can even structure their sentences. All I have had time for is, sneaking in reads of my book.
Why is it when I have marking all I want to do put it off until have finished my book?
