So today is the last day of finals. I have a final tonight at 6pm and then I'm done at AUD. I talked to the housing coordinator here and she's letting me stay in the dorms until the 9th of may. At that point I have a friend who is staying for the summer to work for a television production company and he has a room over in Jumeriah (15 minutes away) and is going to let me stay with him however long I need to. So, I'm well taken care of here in Dubai. An Egyptian friend of mine has invited me to go to Alexandria, Egypt and stay with him for a couple weeks, so that might be happening sometime between now and the end of the month.
At the end of May I need to be back in the US to attend the convocation ceremony in DC for a scholarship that I have recieved called the Boren Undergraduate Scholarship. They are putting me up in a hotel near Capitol Hill and there is some kind of reception dinner the night before. I think the time is going to be amazing! The whole point of the scholarship is that they are sending me to Egypt for 12 months of study. I will be leaving in January of 2007 and returning December of the same year.
Well, I'm going to go get some lunch at 24/7 (the quickie mart that all the students frequent) and then study for my Econ final tonight.

I figured you would be leaving for Egypt in September I am happy to hear you will be around for at least 6 months before you ship out to the middle east. Leanne and I are definetly going to come visit you if you are going to Egypt. Junior will probably be old enough to travel or stay and Grandma's house.
I thought you weren't coming back till August... does this mean you'll be around from May till January?? We've been missing and thinking about you in our little group - it'll be so good to see you again!
And did you know that Jeffery and I are going to be parents soon??
Wow, congratulations on the scholarship! That sounds like an awesome deal! Is this going to be at AUC?
