My favorit type of pizza is all veggie and meat pizza. I would like the crust to be note very thin and not very thick. I also prefer it if the edg of the pizza is filed with mozzarella cheese, and some times they add hotdogs with the cheese. It has to be hot from the oven and not gooey It is beter that the pizza crust is a little crunchy, and I love it when I take a bite of the pizza and the cheese melts and stretches. Also, I like to share the pizza with others and have a Coke with it. Some times I rather eat the pizza in a restaurant and other times I prefer to eat it at home in front of the tv.

I choese lake merritt becuse it revuse people having fun in the park and ingoing.

9\10\2013 I use to collect allot of stuff. but one thing in particular that i spend a lot of many on is collecting pokemon toys and any other thing that have pokemon's in them. I use to combine my collection and sheer them with my cusses. another thing that i use to collect are stickers, but i didn't use to share stickers. i also like to collect different types of paper bags that i have from shops to reuse them and pot gifts in them instead of new paper bag. i also have a big collection of stuffed animals. until now i cant stop baying one if i really like it. i like to collect a lot of photos of deferent topics. any photo i like on the internet i tend to save it and then section it and add it to my collection of pictures. also i have a lot of clothe that i sort of look at et as a collection. i keep some of my favorite clothe sense the day i was born until now. i may inherited the liking of collecting thing from my family. altho i thing its a bad habit because your many is spend on these things well there are much more importing thing to spend many on. also after a well cloture begins to attack your environment.

9\12\2013 i use to read some of spider man comic books. then i watched the move. i liked the move but i felt that spider mans character has changed in the move. the character was beater in the comic books because spider man was more shore of him self and i like wen he jokes around. i also like the velins in the comic book because thy stay for longer time and thus there will be more adventures. spider man was a sad depressed man in the move. i also washed other moves that are based on books or comic books. but all the time there was a change in the oregunal story. most people think that the book is mush beater because it have allot of things ant information that the film can't cover. films can also change your viguon about the story and fores you to someones imagination. although i like moves anyway. i have fun watching the move and see how did thy make the book in to a move.

well today i'm going to write about my struggle withe college and life. I have never would have thought that I well experiences such a stress. I fell kind embarrassed because it's suppose to be very easy for me. Everyone in my class are much younger than me and they are doing a good gob will i'm struggling withe my homework's and readings. Probably because of my bad schedule and my brother. my schedule is very bad, some days I wake up at 07:00 AM and don't go back to my house until 08:30 PM. I fell so tired that I can't do anything. The only thing that I can do is go to sleep because I have a class at 09:00 AM. But fortunately not all dyes are like that. Other days I get so worried and upset because my brother is very sick and I cant think of nothing but to worry abut him. Hopefully things well get better, and until that time I gust have to keep it together as mush as I can.

Cooking every day is very hard for me. I would love to cook everyday, not because i'm a good cook or that I like to cook, but because I want to save money and also to control my eating habits. I don't have the time to cook every day and I also have to clean the kitchen after I finish cooking. My brother cook sometimes, but he only cook food that are high in calories and fat because he needs this kind of food. On the other hand I try to avoid such food. but if the food is not to he's taste he will never eat it. So he get it his way most of the time. In my opinion the best food for me is one that is nutritious. If I want to eat an ideal dish, I would like it to contain vegetables and maybe fruits because these are the two things that I don't eat as much. I would like to eat less fat and meat. Also it is important to be aware about how much sugar and salt we are using. Changing eating habits is not an easy task but it is important to remain healthy and energized. We have to make sure we eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We also have to eat little snacks between them and know how much should we eat every meal.

Today is my project review. I really well on my project, and I'm really proud of myself. For so long I was seeking take such an art class that don't have to do a lot of readings and talking. This class is all about working with materials and tools and that what i like best. I am so terrible when it comes to reading or writing or even studying. I struggled all my life in school and I always prefer to just creating stuff. Whether it's drawing, crafting, creating, or making anything, at the end this is what i'm most good at. Although I'm doing better when it comes to studying, writing, or reading, but it's still a pain for me. Well I guess I have to get used to it because there is no way I can't have any kind of reading, writing, or studying if I want to get a degree and be successful in my life. I still need a lot of practices in all the different areas that I don't really like. Things will be more easier and more smoothly if i got better and maybe I won't hate it that much.

9/23/2013 I have met people from all over the world. But I act the same around all people no mater were they came from. But i don't open up to people quickly. I take along time to start interact withe other people. I first like to be quite and listen first so I can know what kind of a person I'm interacting withe, then I start to interact withe them after I learn abut them. Some times I interact withe people on the first time I meat theme. If some one requested me to or if I'm in a class. But if its a social activity I hesitate to immediately interact. I like ti study the person in front of me to avoid any misunderstanding and to know what the person like and what they don't like. There interest is important to because I can know what subject they like to talk abut. There is times when people intrude them selves to me and start to begin a conversation. People like that are easier to get to know faster do to there social personality. But most of the time I get along withe most people because I listen more than I talk. When it comes to some one I know very close I have a very different and open personalty.

Today I'm going to talk about my new project in my art class. We are supposed to take picture of different things that relate to one subject. I had one idea in mind that includes using my brother as a subject. I thought that I can take a series of photos with a different expression every time. Another idea came to mind about taking photos of all the clocks I see around me. This idea came to me because I realized that I have a lot of clocks in my apartment without attention reason except for knowing what time is it. One of my classmates suggested me a very clever and cool idea to me. She told me to take a number of picture of myself wearing a different scarf every time I take a picture. I relay was impressed about her idea, and I was shocked that this idea didn't came to my mind. Since I have a lot of scarves I think her idea will work perfectly. But I will try all the ideas that I came up with including my classmate idea. This why I can experiment all the different ideas and then do with the best idea possible. I began taking photos of all the clocks I come across. Until now I think the clock picture are working just fin sense there are clocks all around the campus. The other ideas have to wait until I get home to perform them.

There are a lot of things that I would like to do on the weekend. Although non of them are for fun. First, I need to go to Walmart to buy some grocery that are not available on CVS. Second, I need to go to the laundromat to wash and dry my clothes. I also have to clean and tidy the house. After that I'm left to study for Mondays test. I forgot to mention that I have an action that I have to attend on Saturday. So there is no space for fun in the coming weekend. But I have to push myself to attend some different social activity, and I have to practice some of my hubby's away from anything that is associated with studying or doing home work. In the future I'll try to find time to relax and have a good time. This is important to charge for upcoming days that are full of classes and assignments to do. Not to mention exams and projects. When the end of the semester approach it will be harder to find a free time to do anything. I can do for a walk with my brother, go out for denier, or go to watch a movie.

9/29/2013

It was a really short weekend. I couldn't manage to take a breath between the tasks that I have to finish. I was hoping to get more done but it was so hard to manage doing everything. Mostly it's because I'm doing everything by my own. I hope this week will be easier on me. I hope I can find the time to do and finish everything. Whether it's studying, doing assignments or finishing house chores I really hope to get them all don so I can at least have the weekend to my self. Today me and my brother felt dizzy and a little unwell. When we discuss it we thought that it might be because of the weather change. It's becoming colder and I think that's why we feel that way. I have got some local honey. Hopefully that will help boost your immune system a little bit. A friend told me that it's a good idea to eat from the local honey especially if you have allergy. The bees collect honey from different plants that are in the environment around them. So the collected honey will contain all the different plants and that will help fight the allergies from these plants.

Coffee or tea? everyone has their favorite. I sometimes like to drink coffee and other times I prefer tea. I only drink coffee when it's with milk I like cappuccino, espresso and other kind of coffee with milk. On the other hand, tea have a lot variety's at least for me. When it comes to tea I would prefer it ether withe mint, peppermint, flower petals, other kinds of mint known in the Middle East, or a combination of all mints and flower petals, which I prefer the best. Early Gray tea is also delicious. what I love about coffee and tea that the fact that they will soothe and relax your mind. Some people drink these hot beverages just to keep themselves awake, but I just drink them because I love and enjoy the taste I will also add a lot of sugar I know that a lot of sugar is bad but Its impossible for me to drink almost any beverage without sugar. I also enjoy drinking them especially with my mother since we share the enjoyment of drinking coffee and tea.

10/1/2013 Today I'm going to try and attend the computer club. I have tried to encourage my brother to go with me but he said that he was so tired. I was a little disappointed but that won't stop me from going. I was also concerned because the club time is late. There is also a Japan's culture meeting that I'm interested in attending. I would like to know about all the activities that goes around the Campus. I try to look up everywhere for them. Some times I think that these activities are a waste of my time because It's best if I spend the time studying instead of going to such activity. But on the other hand I find it very beneficial to learn about new things and gain experience in different areas. I would like to find activity that are related to my major so I can improve some of the skills I have. I early hope that I will enjoy the computer club and have some fun. I also wish that my brother will get well soon so he can join me on the computer club. Maybe he can find something that interest him as well.

10/3/2013

Most of the time I find the library packet with student. But they don't all necessary study in the library. Some students just play on the computer, watching something, or browsing the internet for fun. Others are just setting taking a break, sleeping, talking, and some are reading a book for there amusement. There are also students how print documents that are not related to the college. Others are just eating in the cafeteria. There are people who use their phone, laptops, or other devices for several reasons, one of them is charging there devices. There are students who listen to something through their headphones. There are people that are just bored and so they begin looking around, looking at other people working or studying. There are people coming and going or changing their location with in the library. I thought most people come hear to study or rent a book or have a meeting or do anything related to college. But it turned out that there are a lot of different activities going on the library other than just studying or doing anything that involve college.

10/4/2013

Very strange indeed. I just order a cappuccino from Starbucks, and guess what they gave me?. They gave my hot milk with foam. I was wandering way it tastes so milky and there were no taste of coffee whatsoever. I have to go back and change it with a real cappuccino.

10/6/2013

This weekend I got to rest a little bit. I also cleaned the house more and made it tidy. Though there are still a lot to do, but I won't push myself. I'll do it one step at a time until I get everything finished. I'm happy with what I did so far. I had lots of fun talking to my family on WhatsApp. We trade text messages and me and my cousins compete on each one of us have the most exciting post. Most people have groups that contains friends. But my most favorite and active group is my family's group. We often send funny things and we discuss different topic. I also can know the latest news from them especially if it is news in the family that I don't know about.

10/10/2013

I'm getting bored from writing in the daily journal. I know it's helpful and everything but I'm just bored with it. I'm worried because the midterm exams are approaching. There are some other projects that I like to redo and other project that are coming on the way. There are a lot of activities that I like to be part of but I don't seem to have the time for them. I will just focus on the coming exams and on my projects for the time being and then thing of the other stuff. It's not very bad, I just have to be prepared and study hard. It takes a little bit o f focusing as well. Today I'm thinking of bringing food from Wendy's because i'll be busy studying. Hopefully everything will go smoothly. I have to be relaxed so I don't end up pressuring myself. When ever I get something done another thing comes along and so on. Not sure if I'll have enough time on the weekend thou, but I'm hoping I will.

10/11/2013

Finally it's Friday. I can now rest a little before we began the next week. There's a lot to do when it comes to studying and home. This week I have to go out anywhere. Maybe i'll go to Buffalo Wings with my brother. I'll also have to be prepared for the coming mid term exams. There is a lot thing that I'm thinking about. I really want to do a lot of stuff. Seems like I'm repeating that over and over through my entire everyday writing general. But I'm out of Ideas of what to write about. I'm trying to create topics but I'm out of Ideas. I'm trying to create topics but I'm out of Ideas. I really want to start playing games. But I can't do that right now. I'm planning on being a new car but I have no Idea from where should I look for. People sad that it's a bad idea to look for a car here, and that I can find cheap cars outside of Athens. But I really need help from an expert.I would love to find a car that I can pay monthly for it rather than paying the full amount. They also said that that is not possible because I have to have a social security, and I cant get a social security unless I work. I really want to find a solution first because paying for taxis are very expensive.

10/14/2013

The Eid is tomorrow. Unfortunately, I don't get to celebrate because I have classes. We used to get ready two days before Eid and maybe more. My family always went to my aunt's vacation house where they sacrifice the animals, which are mostly sheep, and cook different food with them. All the family gets involved in to the whole process. First we there buy a sheep from the market or buy them from my uncle sense he have sheep and goats. First we there bay a sheep from the market or bay them from my uncle sines he ave a sheep and goat. Then we sacrifice the animal. There are people that don't like to participate during sacrificing but my whole family like to participate. Then we began to butcher and cut the meat into portions. Every cut of the animal have specific recipe to cook with. It's a really fun event that have lots of activities and eating. We cook stew, BBQ, cook meat with rice, and many other things. We gather around and sit in front of the open fire and laugh. We also play cards and other bored games. A lot of times, we bring a TV and video games to play with. Others like to play soccer. We continue doing so for three days then everyone goes back home.

10/15/2013

Today is Eid Al-Adha. I keep getting picture from my family of the celebration. This is my fourth year not celebrating with my family because I'm studying. My grandmother always miss me and so do I. But my brother is trying to celebrate in his own way. He is planning to cook a steak and enjoys eating it with me. It's better than nothing anyway. I still have my brother with me. I use to celebrate by myself, and boy was that boring! We still have a month to go before the coming holiday. I decided not to go back to Saudi Arabia and study for my math exam. I also want to save some money to buy a car and not going back to Saudi Arabia will help me save some. But I'm not so excited about the winter. I have to by my brother and myself boots for the winter. Me and my brother are also planning on buying a new TV, two computers and my brother want to buy a snake. I really want a cat, but unfortunately the apartment doesn't allow animals, but I guess they wont mind a snake.

10/17/2013

Somehow my project seems to frozen. This is mainly because I'm out of material. For my first project, I need more people to volunteer cutting onions while being taped. My other project needs a lot of materials. I need a black cloth in order to begin my project. I'll may begin to cut the paper which it will be the foundation of my work. I just had this idea while writing my daily general. Probably I have to go to Walmart in order to buy me a black cloth and lots of onions for my volunteered to cut and shed tears in front of the camera. I think the footage of people cutting onion will turn out to be hilarious. I had other ideas but my professor loved this idea so I'll probably stick with this idea. I'm also very excited about this coming Friday. There will be a big Saudi celebration for Eid since we didn't get to celebrate properly in the middle of the week. It will be awesome if we made it a costume party since people are celebrating Halloween. But probably most people will hate this idea. I think a have fun, funky, and whimsical ideas that most people don't like.

10/21/2013

I really want to go and see the Halloween in uptown. I'll probably will go with my brother. Still it depends whether he will feel fine or not. I'm not going to leave the U.S. in neither in the coming holiday nor in summer. Will maybe in summer but I can't decide yet. Don't know what to write about because I'm out of ideas. Everyday is like the other, nothing new. Oh yes, I have made some friends over the past two weeks. And I have attended a party that the a large number of Saudi girls have made. And I met a lot of people over there. I have been eating lunch with them ever since I known them. Still I don't remember their names, because there is quite a large group of them. But I'll get to nothing better in the future. I forgot to return my friends call. I didn't feel very well this weekend. I almost couldn't make it to the party. But if I didn't go I would miss my chance knowing all these girls. There were approximately thirty girls.

10/22/2013

I haven't slept for more than 24 hours. I know that this isn't healthy and it's not a smart thing to do, but I have to do things that have to be done instantly. Things like home-works, projects, and house shoes have to be made. Things like home works, projects, and house shoes have to be made. Well at least I don't have anything for tomorrow except for my 07:10 PM class. I can sleep a bit and finish doing my projects and home works. Maybe clean the house a little. I really would like to sleep now but my day hasn't ended up yet. I still have one more class to go to and I think I'll be free to go back home. The only problem is that I'm going to be stuck at this class for three hours. I hope I can make it until I get home. No cooking for me today for sure. I will bring something from Wendy's instead. I'M looking forward to the weekend, but i guess it's still early to get excited.

10/31/2013

I have fineched my cretec in one of my art classes. everything went well. i dont know what are we going to do next. but

11/18/2013

This week was full to the last. I have been terribly sick and I have missed one day of class. Everything else come crashing after that. But nonetheless I had a good time on the weekend. I have gone for a long walk on campus and then went to an international eating event. Then I have went with my brother to the movies and watched an exciting movie called Gravity. It was about astronauts that are working on a space station. Then they got into complicated situations. After that things began as one of the astronauts train to survive and make it safe to earth. I really liked the movie because as many movies that i saw her were no movie like this one. Plus, it was good to watch in 3D. Most movies don't do a good job on making 3D movies but that one was successful. There were just two actress. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney were the only actress on the movie. I also played paintball while waiting for the movie to start. I use to play paintball on the computer but it's nothing like the real thing. I find the real paintball are more fun and challenging.
