Well its been a few weeks since I have blogged, and since then I've enjoyed a relaxing Christmas holiday, dealt with more stress at school and work that I've cared to, and returned to start my second last semester of my undergraduate degree. Eek. I have two jobs, 6 classes and a big headache, but hopefully I'll survive this one!
I just wanted to talk about an answered prayer: I have a new roommate, and, thanks be to God, she is very sweet, considerate, and I hope to be good friends with her! Her name is Itaf, she was born in Saudi Arabia, is Palestinian in descent, and has lived in Canada before. She is a first year chemical engineer, and very smart! Her family is all back in Saudi, and she is already a bit lonely, but I am trying to fill her time up as much as possible in the evenings so she won't be too homesick...this also helps with my own homesickness! Believe it or not, though I am only an hour and a bit away, I really miss the routine and relaxation of the Christmas holidays. Having someone else in the apartment, however, should help sooth my own loneliness a bit!
Well, that is all for now!

Sounds like your going to have some interesting conversations with your new roomie!
You certainly have your hands full.
love, Sarah
Kelsey,
You are only an hour away if you drive straight home. I'm sure I could come up with a route that is definitely longer than an hour. Have a good semester.
