First..thank you to everyone who has called and messaged me about my birthday. I feel so fortunate to have the friends and family that I have. Allah (swt) must really like me because I feel incredibly blessed :). I kno I have said this a million times but man I think my siblings all 5 of them + 1 brother in law are the most amazing individuals ever.

It is really weird how when you move away...things change so much. My dad and I always kinda conflict on things heh cuz I think we are alike in some ways but my Dad is probably the one who calls me the most..on a daily basis to tell me how much he misses and loves me. Or he will send me text msgs that say 'please work hard..i love you' haha. I like it here...b/c it is different and its cool to branch out and the idea of starting over with schoool and social life is alot of fun. But I miss my family alot..I can't wait till ISNA when I see them!!!

Totally off topic..having patience is really tough...I can't say I am the most patient person- if that is one thing I could change about myself ..that would be it. I have always been a very logical and rational person but sometimes circumstance gets the best of you.

I haven't updated in some time..so here goes. Umm k soo I thought I would be really lonely here..just cuz I'm soo close to my family ..but I'm really not at all. I miss them alot..but I'm liking it here so far Allhumdullilah. My apt is growin on me...heh and I lovee the friends i've made soo far. its like startin over in a totally new social circlee fun!

Oh and THANKS for all the 'well wishes' from all my friends back in T E X A S.

Last week was insane..I finally moved to Boston. Liking it sooo far and started meetin ppl which has been really great too cuz makes me not miss home as much.

I have soo much crap to do. I'm leavin for dallas tomorrow and today pretty much is my day to do everything and anything.

I'm a big dork..I make to do lists and put even the smallest things on there b/c when I check off stuff it makes me feel accomplished hah...I even put 'make a check-list' and then checked it off. Wow I can't believe I'm posting what a loser I must sound to someone readin this. But for real it totallly works its like 'Wow..I have done so much today' ...I think I will stop while I'm ahead heh.

Wow..man I can NOT believe I am leaving..!!

Heh a conversation with fayez..who is like a brother to me and knows me like my familia does and knows my family too well cuz he stalks us and wishes he was like us too :)
