oooh..yeah.yeaaaaah...in fact I was supposed to participate in a panel discussion about Egypt and Israel, and the Middle East peace process. Thank God, I was dead tired..because I do not like political discussions at 9:00 AM!
Rushing to the union, I was there are 9:45 AM..rubbing my eyes! They had a panel discussion, with Thomas Schott, and his wife (Adam's mother), because she is Israeli and Dr. Schott taught in Israel for a long time, with Dr. Nadia Atif, and Bill. I continued the class, half asleep, half starving in fact. Then, when they finished, I went to take a cup of tea to help me to regain part of my strength!
Every time I met somebody, they asked me: "Are you feeling OK?" And...I replied every time saying.."yeah..pretty okaaY!" Until I discovered that because I was late, Adam told everybody that I was not feeling OK! :) That was really smart in fact..but people got it serious..! :)

Parts of what I said:
"These are the things that you yourself have to answer and define. Remember that you are student, and you will question the issues of the Egyptian identity, the diversity of ethnicity and traditions, as well as religions and the history."
"We had a 7000 years civilization..but why did we lose our great civilization? These were the ideas of a 21 years old Egyptian student, who studies at an American University..but still from a patriotic family."
"These are the questions I ask to myself everyday in the morning when I see the pyramids from my window, and I think more..why did we lose our civilization? why are we a third world country..a developing country.?? How can we restore back our civilization..one day?"

I think this presentation was the best I have ever presented in my whole life..because it was all from the heart, and I focused all my senses and abilities to make it look good!
