I sprang out of bed and ran mindlessly to the kitchen. First thing I opened my computer and wrote before I could open my eyes:

“Hi!”

There was an answer in the next second. I knew already that it was written:

“صباح الخير“ which means “Good morning”.

Then I opened my Zoom Meeting and waited.

“Thank god, I am just in time!”

Slowly, I started to wake up. I took a sip of water from my glass and waited patiently. After about two minutes, I was ready, so I went back to WhatsApp and wrote:

“I am on Zoom!”

I waited for the answer for another two minutes, so I had enough time to make myself a cup of coffee. Now, I was 100% ready. Then the answer came.

“Today is Friday!”

“Oh, I am sorry! Have a nice day!”

My husband reminded me that I do the same every Friday.

“Are you sure?”

“You do!”

I want to learn Egyptian Arabic, so I'll have daily lessons except Friday. In Egypt, Friday is like Sunday.

So I do not have any lessons on Fridays.
