We had our end-of-level tests yesterday and everyone did really well, alhamdulillah! I got 79/80 and now we all have to treat ourselves except for the penny-watching business. Alas!

I have lots of emails to reply to and my time is nearly up. We farewelled Piruze yesterday :( and now she is gone back to Germany, and their Awesome Foursome is sundered (Laila, Zax, Heidi and Piruze) and our English-speaking ghetto is broken up. Sad :( I kept imagining I heard her speaking when everyone was around yesterday...I suddenly realised also, that she reminded me of Nour from school.

Ack, time up!
