Dear Blog

My dear Blog,
I'm most certainly sorry that I have neglected you for so long. I beg you pardon darling! But you do understand that I was quite busy for some time! I promise I will not be doing this again. I have been busy with school, midterms and research papers. But the good news is Spring Break is commiiingggg! Can't wait for it. :]
When Spring Break starts I will update you quite often!
Wait for me darling!

XOXO

Love, love, love :)

The Ultimate Knowledge

So, the classes I'm taking requires certain books to read. It's already third week of the university. Yup, time flies super fast! I can't believe it.
I decided to take pix of my books. It's an impressive list for me. Serious readings aaahhh! Yup, serious readings (sigh).
Even though the classes I'm taking are upper-division classes and considered to be hard ( by some people including me lol) I actually really like my classes, except the International Law class (yikes!).







I uploaded some pix :)

Intro

Okay, so i forgot the password of my previous blog which I didn't really use (hense the problem). So i just started a new blog instead of all the hastle. I honestly tried to remember the email I used with that blog and the password but for some reason they don't match! Yikes! This time around I promise I will be updating my blog twice a month at least! Yup, that's an oath LOL.
Well the reason I'm so crazed lately about blogs is that I can keep track of my thoughts and just have my own space in cyber world. Basically, its for myself! Buuut I don't mind sharing my thoughts with other people.

Dalia,
        xoxo
