my old class mate

Today I went with some of my class mates from the first session to the lobster restaurant. each one of us from a different country, Japanese girl, Chinese girl, girl from Colombia, man from Turkey, man from Russia, and I from Saudi Arabia. It was fun and I really had a nice time. We stated to talk about our countries and ourselves. After we finished our lunch we decided to meet as a group every month. I think this is good for us to improve our English. For me it’s very important to have friends from different country. I want to visit them in their own countries. I think that will be a wonderful experience.

Avatar And I

The last weekend I went with my friend to people’s plaza to hit a movie theater. I was very excited about the new movie that it called Avatar. When I went to buy tickets I noticed that she was more expensive because of the three D glasses. Before I get inside the theater I bought bob corn to enjoy it with the Incredible, wonderful movie or as I thought. And I will tell you my opinion about this movie it was the stupid movie I saw ever. Stupid and boring it was more than three hours long. Oh I hated. I think it wasn’t my type not just that, it was exaggerated. Finally about one o'clock it was end, so I waste my time for nothing. My friend liked that movie very much and he didn’t stop talking about it so I had to make the Sound of Music very loud to make him stop talking.

no one know

I was reading the Riyadh newspaper and there was an article about the snow in the U.S.A, and beautiful pictures with children played with the snow. After that I saw the comments by people who think that is the haven. I know in my country weather is very hot and there is no snow ever just a few rain in the winter. I don’t blame them, but the snow is beautiful just in the beginning and it is too cold to be outside. I wish someday Riyadh have heavy snow to see how people think about it. With this weather I miss my home. i hope the weather will be warm in the coming days.

super bowl yaheee

My first time watch the super bowl game. I wasn’t excited to watch the game, but when my friend told me that he called his university friends whom are American, and there are Traditional things during the game make me insisted on attend the game. My friend call me afternoon because he want me to go with him to Wal-Mart. He told my we must to by a lot of food in this night. We start to cook and clean the apartment, and I didn’t understand way we need all this food for a just one game. I was shocked win he told me the game probably takes three hours. I like to spend time with English native speakers. Finally my team won it was very exciting game between saints and ummmm I rely don’t remember what is the name of the other team. It was 31 to saints and 17 to the other team, but the most amazing thing during the game is the special Commercials and the band. I will follow any game coming in the future.

Can you help them?

     How would you feel if you need help to stay alive, but you didn’t find anyone to help you? Can you imagine one day you will lose one of your family due to lack of resources and assistance? It is a very terrible situation that no one wish to lives with it. I was thinking about these questions a lot as I watching the news about Haiti. I want to be there to give help and I wish I can, but I couldn’t, so I think we should do something in said the United States of America. Like if someone from university of Delaware organized a campaign to collect donations in clear and substantial way to make everyone know that even small help can save lives. We must as a human being do all what we can to help the people in Haiti.

Journal3

Today someone call me from Saudi Arabia and offer a job to me from one of the largest companies in Saudi Arabia specialized in project management. I was very happy about this offer, especially as they had agreed to finish learning English, but I am not sure about that. I came here to finish my academic degree. To be honest I didn’t see this coming, and I discovered that the Project Management Section in the Ministry of Higher Education is one of the nominated me for this post. I didn’t say yes, and I didn’t say no too. I am not sure what should I do. I have a feeling that I am in both cases loser. I know that my education is much important, but I have to say if this job gives me the opportunity to complete my education in Saudi Arabia should have to take it. I will not be hasty to make a decision and I'll ask the opinion of who I trust.

Journal2

I went to Washington on Tuesday to finish the procedures of my Scholarship in U.S, so I went to the car rental office after classes and rent a car and began heading to Washington. I Came to Washington three o’clock, and I just have one hour to finish it because work at the embassy ends at the fourth Unfortunately, I could not finish all the required documents. I was very angry because I had to come again. After that I went to Restaurant for lunch, but I couldn’t eat maybe because I was very tired. On my way to Newark when their car broke down and I tried to call for help, but I found my phone battery had been carried out, so I Left the car and I Walked to the gas station to make a call. I had to wait two hours for my friend. When my friend came he calls the A.A.A. Company and they send someone to take the car to the rental office. I got home at one A.M. I took a bath and went to bed at two A.M. that was a bad day for me.
