I never realized how uneventful my life was

that is, until now. In the last several days, I have spun out a car (did a full 360), rode in a car that almost flipped (I literally saw my life flash before my eyes!), lost a wheel (not just the tire, but the whole rim) that flew out into a field somewhere, I smashed the windshield of the car I was driving, while being chased, after being shot at. Oh, and I was also approached by a drug dealer (kind of...). Yeah, my life must have been pretty run of the mill before, but I am beginning to think this new exciting life may be the one for me.

In case anyone cares

I am here. I am safe. And my room is super sweet! The only thing I wish it had that it does not is a DVD player (no, not so I can watch movies). I would like to listen to my CDs and watch my Arabic DVDs. I was really hoping to get a lot of studying done in the next month and a half. Well, I suppose I will have to content myself with the books and do it the old fashioned way.
