Is there anyone who isn't glad 2008 is over? Its been one hell of a year, it may not have been personally my worst year,but I think the general consensus among most people is that it would be better if this year was just forgotten.
2008- the crappy parts:
-My stressful transition into Univeristy student life, which almost caused me to alter my dream of my future career
-My dad's 6 month bout with depression
-Other family problems
-My continous stressing about money and how I'm going to pay for my education
-The economy sucking balls in general
-The never-ending senseless war in Iraq
-The greater than usual amount of celebrity deaths, some of which I really liked :S
-And now ofcourse, the massacre going on in Gaza..how fitting for this horrible year.
2008-the good parts (and yes, there are a couple):- Obama becoming the president-elect
- Being generally healthy and well
- Doing better than I thought/ surviving my 1st semester of univeristy
- Last, but not least the world hasn't exploded/ we haven't ALL begun killing each other..what more do you want??

During this dreadful week I have encoutered 2 types of viruses. The first one being a computer virus. Don't ask me where it came from, I was just visting my regular websites when all of a sudden my computer went fucking crazy and began bombarding me with pop-ups. I had to redo my entire computer, which ofcourse meant losing like 1 and a half years of stuff that has been accumalating on my computer. And ofcoooourse I didn't bother to back up anything. The second virus is an actual, you know, a virus of the human variety. I feel miserable and gross. I have my retarded younger brother (sorry, that wasn't very PC of me and comparing my brother to them was probablly offensive) to thank since he is just now getting over a cold. I told him he was gunna make everyone sick with the way he spread his germs around without a care, but he is incredibly inconsiderate so I wasn't suprised when my mom and I woke up this morning half dead.
Excuse me while go cough out a lung and re-install my 2478908 programs.

I know, I know its been over a month since I've posted anything. Yes, I'm a horrible, horrible blogger. Being in exam hell and trying to finish numerous assignments is the best excuse I have. Actually thats not true, I've wanted to blog in the past couple weeks but nothing has gotten me fired up or excited enough. I seriously have nothing even remotely interesting or original to talk about. I hope what I just said doesn't lead anyone into thinking what is to follow will be that interesting, this post will mostly be just pictures.
Sooo my dad just got back from a month long trip to Sweden/Germany/Lebanon to visit relatives, and everyone knows what that means...GIFTS from relatives you've never seen or met...and a couple from my dad.
First up is a Diesel purse from my aunt, it's alittle smaller than the purses I usually carry, but its cute so I can't complain.
Next is a gold necklace my dad got me that says "Allah" in arabic (Sorry for the blurry pic, my camera reallyyy sucks)
(Sorry, another really bad pic) This was another gift from my dad, a white and silver Chanel watch
Next is a reallyyy soft sweater and two bracelets from one of my cousins
(Yet another crappy pic) This is a watch and necklace set from another one of my cousins in Germany.
I looove this bag, my Aunt bought this for me, and its pretty obvious where its from.
And last but not least Kuffiyehs! Palestinians can never have enough kuffiyehs
