Another Weekend of Diving

After two weeks of online distance learning, I am so tired of sitting at a computer all day! I miss my students, I miss being active during the day in the classroom, and I miss being challenged by my job. Since Sunday, I have been working on a Language Arts order for my team, which drove me crazy (especially once I realized that the book I was using to select books by level was outdated in comparison to the website...had to recheck over 100 titles).

Luckily, the forced school closure did not impact our five day weekend! Tonight I am off to Dahab, which I am sure will be an adventure. Dahab has been described to me as a "hippie beach town". It's on the eastern side of the Sinai. Almost everyone I know who's been there loves the place. I am going to get my advanced open water PADI certification, which means I'll be able to dive to 30m. I'm interested in seeing how the Dahab diving compares to the Taba reef.

I have yet to pack, but that's ok, since I leave tonight on a bus at 7:30pm. That will be an adventure as well, since it's the public bus that we're taking down. I think it takes eight or nine hours to get there. Good thing our room will be ready and waiting!
