The Decision

I decided late on January 27 to accept a position teaching middle school French at an International school in Cairo, Egypt. This is what happens when I get bored.

Most people, when they get bored, watch TV, or read a new book, or call a friend for coffee. When I get bored, restless and in need of something new, I usually end up trying to find new work. Two years ago I decided to do my Masters degree, because I was bored. Since that is no longer new and exciting, and since it will be finished in 4 months, it was time for a new adventure.

I am still not completely sure how I ended up being offered a job in Cairo, but here we go. It actually all started last July, when my dad told me about an administrator he met at a conference. Many emails and conversations later, and here I am.

Current climate in Cairo: Hot and Sunny.
