If you are calling my cell phone, I should get the call. It rings when Dad calls, so double check with him. My room phone is already canceled though because I move out on Tuesday, so calling that line will not work anymore ( Read more... )

I have been saying goodbye to my friends one by one. It is very sad.

My exams will be over Wednesday. About the boy :) (he is NOT my boyfriend though...)

I am sooooooo happy to hear that the El-Awads are ok. I am still sad and angry about the 360+ civilians killed in Lebanon though. It was good to read what Kofi Annan had to say to the world though.
