I finally joined facebook, so this blog no longer has a purpose :p

I may not be updating this anymore. Add me on Facebook if you have an account.

Cheers ~~

Hello all, 

Dana was asking me why I haven’t updated in a while. Well, other than the fact that I can’t be assed to do so, it’s because I don’t have a camera anymore. This was intended to be a photo-blog, so I can’t really update much without photos. The pictures on my blog were taken with my mom’s camera while she was still here in NY, so after she left Sara’s left with no camera *wimpers.*

I do intend to go buy a decent one at some point when I have some extra money. So, until then, I may update every now and then, using my camera-phone or even no pictures at all.

Today I have some camera-phone shots for you:

Firstly, I would like to thank Michelle for sending me a packet of Davidoffs in the the mail hahaha….

They don’t have Davidoffs in the U.S. It was funny because when I opened my mail box there was this little envelope that was all scrunched up and buldging. I was like wtf. Then when I saw it was from Michelle I thought ok no reason to be surprised here lol.

Aaaand…..

I finally got my baby fixed :D It’s not perfect of course, being that it was fixed by somebody who fixes guitars and not ouds. The strings are a teensy bit further away from the board then they normally are. And the guy who fixed it thought it would be a good idea to greese the pegs because he said it was nearly impossible to turn them for tuning, which was actually a bad idea because the pegs are supposed to be tough to turn. Now I’m having trouble tuning it cause the pegs just slip back everytime I play. Oh well.

Oh and I told some of you that my neighbor’s house burned down. Here’s a picture of it:

It’s pretty unfortunate that this happened. Thankfully nobody got hurt. It’s stupid that houses here are made of wood it’s about time they switched to concrete or brick.

I know. Camera-phone pictures suck >:(

And finally, from the cutest blog EVER:

Haha I love kitties with funny captions. To see the original blog for this click on the image.

Ok so this week was my first week of classes.

Hofstra is an interesting place. It’s more well-known than I thought, even though I don’t see it in the American Colleges rankings (click here to see the rankings if you’re interested). When I tell people I go to Hofstra (even people who live outside the U.S.) eyebrows are immediately raised. I didn’t think that anyone would know about it, and even if they did, I didn’t expect they would be impressed. They say Hofstra has an amazing Law School, and Communications School (my school of study), so I’m really happy that I’m getting a better education than I predicted. By the way, thanks all for your support and encouragement :)

In this picture, I’m standing in a court outside one of the student residence halls. This is the day when all students moved into their dorms. It looks like a lot of fun to move into a dorm, but I’m happy with my apartment since I get more privacy and space, and I don’t have to deal with an annoying roommate :p Plus, I feel more mature living in my own place. The students who live in the dorms seem so childish.

Speaking of children, Feras took out my Hofstra gear out of the closet the other day and decided to try it on :p

Mom and Feras went back to Kuwait before yesterday. It was so hard to say goodbye :( I miss them so much already, especially my mom since she’s always been my best friend. Oh well. That’s life I guess. I can’t wait to see her this Christmas, thats if I get a chance to go, or she comes over here again, whatever works. I’d rather have her come here since I’m in no mood to go back to Kuwait this winter, even though escaping New York winter sounds tempting.

Anyway, I better get to my homework. I probably wont be updating my blog much since I started classes. If you don’t hear from me and wondering what I’m up to, send me an email. It’s always a nice feeling to read emails from friends :)
