I know I haven't written in quite a long time
I've been busy working so hard in the past few months.
not everything has been good but I can't complain
somethings have been sharable on whispers. However, I didn't have the time to go online and write about them. and some other things have been unsharable on whispers!
There is one good reason I'm writing tonight
I was told, today, that one of my students had her article printed in an international journal, American Journal of Scientific Research. WOW!
when I heard that, all I could think of was "she deserved it" and "she deserves more", It wasn't a surprise, rather a piece of good news and an excuse to write.
Ms. Masoumeh Mirzazadeh was a hardworking, devoted student of EFL who had few classes with me but from the very first time I met her, she struck me as a successful person who would pursue anything she wanted and that she would gain them.
I still remember the first time she ran to me and asked for permission to sit in my class and I refused. she never gave up and asked again until I gave her the permission. ( I knew she wouldn't give up)
very soon, I was given the news of her admittance at the university and she left to make great changes. Later, I heard she was excelling at school and that she'd pass every course successfully and with the highest marks possible. and today, another success for a successful person.
Ms. Mirzazadeh, if you happen to read my whispers one day, I have to tell you that I feel proud to hear about your successes and I will be waiting to hear more.
here you can find and download a copy of her article for American Journal of Scientific Research.

Hi
I just wanna thank everybody who remembered my birthday and I was just surprised at how many of you guys remembered it :)
Thank you a million times
After a long while that nothing interesting had been happening in my life, We started a project in which we are trying to produce a multimedia software that can be used as a full self teaching English teaching software.
I hope everything goes well in the future and this software becomes a perfect alternative for a physical English class. well I'm working with a professional team both Programmers and Filming and everybody is trying for the best.
we started filming yesterday and boy was it AWFUL!
I'd never thought that it'd be that difficult! well, I wasn't expecting something easy nor did I expect myself to be that bad in front of the camera!
but once I got the hang of how to do it, everything was great today! there was no more mess-ups and less stress...
I hope we can wrap it up this week
we need your fingers crossed
I'm back
well lots happened during my absence
for starters, I got severely sick but I'm a lot better now and will continue classes from today
and on top of my sickness, I had to go to the Embassy to collect my passport on Monday.
I felt so bad but I had to be there I'd been standing in line for 2 hours before I heard my name and went to the counter to receive my passport.
I wasn't happy, though.
now I'm beginning to do the rest of the work
this is gonna be my last post
after Facebook, now, my Whispers is going to close down
I will start writing again after I leave Iran
thanks everyone for following my posts so far
The End
what if you keep dreaming and dreaming until it all comes true...
and when it does, hold it so tight and never let it slip
keep dreamin'
after a 3 day trip to Isfahan or let's call it an escape, I'm back in Tehran
to those who knew me, it was strange that I wanted to have a trip
everybody was like "did you really take a trip?, NO YOU DIDN'T!!!"
and as a matter of fact, this was the only time I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and didn't want it to finish
I had a great host, who I put to too much trouble, and a nice tour leader, who I tired out so much
the city was uncrowded and not very cold even warm on Friday noon!
took so many pictures (they're available on Facebook)
I liked everything about the trip from the serious conversations to the playful jokes to taking long walks along The Zayande rood and all those bridges
all in all, it was a sweet escape from all the pains
