So it has been a good seven months since I last wrote on here. It is amazing how fast time flies! Let's see since the last time I wrote a lot has happened, so I will start from the beginning.
Summer:
I spent the majority of my summer in Washington D.C. interning at the Save Darfur Coalition, now known as United to End Genocide and I also interned at the Institute for Palestine Studies. I made some amazing friends while in DC and had so many great memories. It was a fantastic summer. DC is an incredible city and I can see why it is so popular with so many young professionals because it is vibrant and just a lot of fun.
Fall:
I came back to school at the beginning of August for RA training. (RA stands for Resident Advisor for those who may not know). I live in a freshmen residence hall and have about 25 residents who live in my wing. I love all my girls, they are absolutely amazing and a delight to work with. But, back to the training. It was a lot of work, but it paid off by the end. I met so many amazing people through the training process. All of the RAs here at LMU are truly amazing. They are incredible individuals who really do work to make LMU a better place, especially within the residence halls. I might be a little biased, but I think I work with the most amazing people in my building. The seven other RAs are the best at what they do and make our building the best on campus. And if you ask any of us, we have the most incredible residence director on campus. She is always there for us and we can talk to her about anything. She makes our staff what it is.
So apart from being an RA I have been taking classes, standard classes for my major but they are good. I registered for classes next semester and I can't believe that it will be my final semester! I will have Mondays and Fridays off, which means 4 day weekends! I am honestly very excited about that! It is hard to believe I am graduating next semester, these past four years have flown by wayyyyyyy too fast!
We just had Thanksgiving break which I really enjoyed. I got to spend wednesday with my sister which was so much fun! We went to the mall and just laughed a lot. We rarely spend time together throughout the year because we live so far apart, so we made the most of our day that we had. It was such a fun time. I arrived at the house at 6:40am and we ended up watching a tv show right away and laughing the whole time. She is one of the most amazing people that I know and I am so blessed she is in my life. She, along with the rest of my incredible family are people that I am so thankful to be in my life.
I have three weeks left of this semester and then it is back to saudi to be with the rest of my family. I have a lot to do within those weeks, like papers, projects and exams. It will be a really busy time but it will be worth it!
I hope you are having a great year and that you have a lot to be thankful for. Count your blessings and enjoy every minute of every day because time goes by too fast!
