And I'm back...

I've been neglecting the blog worse than ever before! Lots has happened in the (eek!) two months since I've posted - Ramadan ended, my Mom and I took an Eid trip to the Mediterranean, she visited me here in Doha, my satellite TV went away, and I became a hermit in order to study for the GRE test. Now the test is over, I've got lots of grad school applications to do, and I'm getting ready for my students' semester to end and my dad to visit at the end of the month!

Yeah, so its been crazy and its looking like it will continue until the New Year. Already making plans for next semester when I have my life back - dance lessons, Arabic lessons, and back in the gym. (Yeah now that I write them they don't look super-exciting, but it will be nice to have a routine.) Until then the fun mostly includes holiday toffee nut lattes at Starbucks, So You Think You Can Dance Parties and working with Nalani on our tryout for the Amazing Race.

I'm also going to try (but I've stopped making promises) to update my blog... including (insha'allah) backdated entries of my vacation with mom, my trips to Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, and other various things that have been going on in Doha.

If anyone is still paying attention to the existence of this blog, I thank you.
