We are in the thick of final exams at school. Belle had her English exam today and will be finishing third grade on Thursday after completing the rest of her subject exams this week. This means half days for her and more quality time with her dad. At my school, the Cycle 3 (grades 10-11) girls began their exams yesterday. Today they had their English exams, where they had a reading section and writing. I will be marking them tomorrow as we had our "end of the year" staff party this afternoon, a luncheon with gifts from our principal and a gift swap among the entire staff. Like many of the staff parties, there was a background of loud Arabic music and the entire production took place in Arabic as well. Unfortunately, the gymnasium is not air conditioned so it made it uncomfortable on this 115 degree day. I ended up coming home and needing lots of fluids and a nap, while Rob and Belle went to the pool to cool off.
Rob and I are planning our first overnight getaway in years (in many, many years), to the Yas Viceroy in July to help celebrate a friend's birthday. It is a nice excuse for Rob to get the Yas experience I had last August and for us to spend some quality couple time. I think this weekend we might head to Abu Dhabi to spend some time with our city dwelling friends before the summer exodus begins.
