On Olives and Sake

I just had my busiest day ever…
Tuesday… woke up exactly 5:30am… back to the same bed at exactly 6:30am the next day….

I got 2 swollen feet, one reallllllllyyyyyyy screwed up t-shirt [u should've been there Dina when I landed face2face into a lovely muddy pool... thank god my flat was 10mins away], a nerve-breaking headache and the best time ever with syrian bloggers…

here’s a quick glance of yesterday….
05:30 woke up
07:00 my bus to damas took off
11:30 finally, got to damas after one whole hour delay
12:00 chasing time with Alaa to get to the jp embassy on time [thx a lot Alaa for waiting all that time, u rock]
17:30 got out of the embassy after 5 straight hours of tests including a japanese language test [regardless of what the hell the quiz was I maintained a "B" choice in that test... at least one of those Bs is gonna be right], that’s where I got the Headache…
18:00 I met with Sinan in Nofara… then a nice tour in old damas, it’s nice having someone who actually knows the area on such tours.
19:00 THE MEETUP [details are due VERY SOON].
21:30 Started the quest to answer the eternal question.. “Should I sleep over today.. or go to Latakia…?!!”
23:00 Tryna find a taxi so I could be on time for my 23:30 bus…
03:30 u’d think I’d give up and get some rest but NOOO… I get a call from Maad that they got a night shift in Roula’s pharmacy… and so it is…!!!! another 3 hours of wandering around and driving lessons… [that's where i got the swollen leg]…
06:20 finally, home sweet home…. NOP.. I still got one more bump… I know I usually bump into posts and cars but into MUD?!?!!!!!… well, for my defence.. I was very tired!!!

I’m sooo proud I survived yesterday… hell, I’m proud I was able to maintain a human-kinda-appearance in the Meetup… [u know, 5 hours of scratching ur head could lead to a very very fucked up hair...]!!!

thx for everyone for making my day.. Alaa [Hope I didn't screw up ur Bakaloria chances this year.. hehe], Sinan for the lovely tour and everyone else from the blogging team for a great time after a hectic morning [Ayman, Ammar, Amr, Dina, Sara, Baher, Majd, Annie], the japanese guy who actually sat with us for 5 straight hours without a single word [man, get a life]… everybody in the pharmacy [there was a lot of ppl.. I don't even know half the names!!! Roula, Maad, Roa, Ayham... everyone..]….

cheers everone…
