First trip to LAMB

Our first few days in Cairo have certainly been interesting! The whole group has now arrived, and despite a few bumps along the way (i.e. Sharon being without luggage and battling the Alitalia Cairo office for the first 24 hours, and Ken drinking out of seriously the WRONG cup at his host's residence...long story), we are all rested and excited to get started teaching -- tomorrow! We made our first trip to LAMB today to get a taste for Coptic Cairo and an introduction to the program we will be working with over the next six weeks. Each of us will be teaching a different level of English, and in charge of 3-4 classes which will meet either twice a week for an hour, or once a week for two hours. Personally, I'm a bit nervous as to how the first few sessions will go -- although I've had some teaching experience before, I've never taught students in my immediate peer group, nor taught advanced English grammar (I will be teaching students in level 11, meaning they have taken 10 semesters of English beforehand). Although I am sure there will be lots of learning occurring on my part, as well, and adjustments made along the way, I'm very eager to meet the students and energized for the challenge ahead.

Yallah guys!
