Daydreaming

Since last Saturday was going to be a long day and have lots of things to catch up with and feel that I almost did nothing useful the day before, I decided to force my self and wake up at 3:30 am, but I ended up waking at 4:45 am. Took quickly my shower, prayed and made a cup of Earl Grey Tea and started to practice “Prelude # 4 – Chopin” on the piano. Yes I played piano around 5 am in the morning! Anyways, I’m not really satisfied with my piano results; I don’t give that much time for practicing. It’s not that I don’t want to, but sadly I don’t really have time. I spend almost my time at university, working on school work and activities, nevertheless I should fit piano somewhere in my daily program, practicing for one hour a day wont really hurt, or? Anyways, for some reasons I realized it was already 7:30 am and I should get ready. I took on the new Orange Top, packed my Music- notes, my note book (in case I would revise for my exam - that I would take later today) and my hand-book "Blink" (that I haven’t finished it yet) and of course my iPod (I don’t think I would be able to survive my day without it!). Sharp 08:00 am I was on the street, 30 min and my class will start, definitely I’ll arrive late - thought I. It was very quite. I wondered where all people were. Still sleeping? I could not believe that Cairo could be so serene. I walked to the Metro station, 2 min away from home; I bought my tickets and jumped in the Metro. Surprisingly the metro wasn’t full at all, I thought maybe because children took already their summer vacation, or so. I was too tired to read anything, so I started to listen to my iPod and Daydream!

Daydreaming has been my new company lately. Whenever I feel fed up with anything, I just leave everything behind me and start dreaming. I dream about everything you can imagine. I dream about my future, about my life, I ask my self if I'm on the right track?, if the place where I'm right now is the right place? Or should I be somewhere else? If the people around whom I consider "close friends" are the right people I should be with? I even recall things from the past, from my childhood, old days, and how I wish to go back- not that I’m not satisfied with my life, but it’s a peaceful feeling when u know u don’t have to care or worry about anything, u just live you life. I remember when I was sitting with my Grand-Pa - couple weeks ago- he told me about his childhood, his youth time, and even surprisingly he told me when he saw my Grand-Ma for the first time and fall in love with her and how he misses her and wishes she would be here among us now!

I asked my self would I ever experience such great strong love story like my grand parents? Apparently no, because we live in a hectic, rush, stressful, unfair life- I would call. People are not the same anymore. Honestly I wish I would have lived at my Grand- parent’s time. Life would have been much easier. People don’t have patience anymore. It’s the internet century; where everything will be done with a “button” and a “Click". And that's exactly not what I want. I am a dreamer and a very sensitive and emotional person. Maybe that’s my problem with the world? Do I take things too personal? Or I can get hurt easily? Sometimes I tell my self, I came to the wrong time. Maybe if I was born during “Romanticism” or even Goethe's era “Storm and Urge” where people used to express everything with their feelings, compared to today, people stopped Feeling and caring for each other!

All I know is that I will only merry the person whom I will fall for. An old-times’ knight, who cares for safety, family and traditional values very much and would shoulder the responsibilities of a family. Who would support me to fulfill my dreams, who would stay beside me in my good and bad situation, who would make me feel comfortable and secure, etc etc - of course as I will do to him! Just like my Grand- Parents did! :)

You see, Daydreaming is a proof that I think tooo much! Sometimes it get’s really annoying!

Anyways, enough talking about my Daydreams, I arrived exactly at 08:30 at the Cairo Opera House, I run up to the room and for my surprise the room was locked up! So my professor will come again late? Huh? I walked a bit in the corridor and then I took my phone and realized its only 07:30 am!!!! How didn’t I see that?? So I have a whole extra hour to myself!   

I started to walk around but everything is closed here and the time passes very slowly. I decided to write this post on my iPod, since I got nothing else to do, however I should at least revise for my exam, but I’m not into it right now. Writing my thoughts down, is like emptying my uncomfortable mind!

Finally my teacher came, but a bit late - just 30 min! Typical Egyptian time! I really wonder when people will finally realize they should be punctual??! Anyways, after my lesson I run to the Metro Station, in order to catch my university bus in Maadi.
