Few days after the sring semester started, i started noticing that it’s harder than my 1st semester here .. I dont know if it’s just the classes and all, or it’s because I’m working in the school this semester next to my 6 classes.
I still miss my family, i almost know everything around here, well not EVERYTHING, coz i still don’t have a car, so i dont know all the places .. but i do know alot now, i can do stuff without waiting for people to help me …
The semester is passing really sloooowww !! and im doing much better than before, until few days ago .. there wasn’t any thing particular, but i just felt that i ran out of air, i missed everyone back home .. and i mean EVERYONE … i called my mom, talked two words .. and that was all . i couldnt talk more .. i cried .. i cried alot .. i was tired of being away and always thinking ..
I already missed christmas and new years, I missed my mom’s birthday which was on the 8th of march, then missed mother’s day which in Syria is on the 21st of march… and still to come, i will miss easter .. just thinking about how everybody will be together and I will be on the other side of the world makes it really tough.
I didn’t do much in Spring break, i was working in the school.. I work in the registrar’s office, I’m supposed to do 180 hours a semester, and i get 25% off my tuition .. and since i had nothing to do, i thought i might as well finish my hours in the school …
Speaking about the school, there is a big possibility that the Schiller campus moves to downtown St. Petersburg .. every one is excitedddd !! we went checked the bulding and the whole area … maaannn that place is awesommeee .. i hope they just sign the contract and we move there, the whole university and our life style will be different. it’s right in the middle of downtown, like all the clubs bars restaurants are across the street, everything is close to you that you don’t even need a car !!
so now every is just waiting and crossing their fingers ..
