You're welcome!

I wish I had some advice to help you, but the first time I went on the road I almost crashed into a tree and that totally shook my confidence. I think I've only been behind the wheel of a car once since then and that was almost four years ago. Ack.

Your situation does sound a little like a former roommate. She was from Japan and wanted to learn how to drive in America because it would have been much more expensive and difficult in her home country.

You're a smart girl, Beesan, so I think you'll do fine!

Thanks for the offer Sakina , i hope we could but I'm not really sure about the time things take to ship there. Once my dad sent something to his friend, it arrived about 9 months later! but if you ever need anything, my dad has 6 uncles that live in Ohio, that visit there a lot and i can ask them to carry the things for you.

Anyway, i lived in Florissant for about six months then moved to the Manchester area. I haven't been to the Fox Theatre, but i will try since we are making the most of our stay here, nd trying to see all the sights

Anais- I couldn't wait to start reading Kite Runner either, so i started reading it too

I almost stopped reading too, especially when he stated talking about religion...my religion, but then i was like, no i will finish it. Right now I'm about halfway through...

Juri- Thanks Juri you're sweet, but once i get nervous... i guess only the US makes it easy for people to drive, LOL

Maggie-  i was planning on reading Diary next. I like this new way of writing though, and i especially like the Flash sentences, it's like writing a whole paragraph....they say a whole lot about what the narrator is feeling. I still feel like I'm lost though..


Hair- I took a chance and tried distilled white vinegar, and it feels nice...maybe it didn't affect it at all, since i only used about 2 tbls to the whole bottle ::shrug::

I like the LIC* by Kimberly, but i think i need to add 4 tbls of Aloe juice, i will make a new batch tomorrow

You are SO welcome

I like it too, i've been reading up on somethings there, especially since my little bro is starting Pre-school soon.

Oh, i forgot to say that we went to the mall today, and:-

*i saw this Russian lady (i think- her accent sounded like it) that had her braid down to her anckels , it looked really nice- salt, and pepper

*I went into Icing by Claire's- they have really, REALLY nice hair sticks. i didn't buy anything, my brothers were with us so there was no way i could peacfully pick some up , so i'm waiting for when me and my mom go alone while they are at school

I noticed you and anais talking about Kite Runner, what's that book about & who's it written by?  Just doing some snooping for a possible future read!

Anais- what you said is true, but i meant like the teacher explaining it, or proofs, and theories- i know they are all the same but they are still in Arabic, and it's not only math and chem. it's also Arabic- they have about 5 books (language, reading, grammar, poetry), geography, history. I'm going from American history to Arab history what a turn of things

Maggie-The book is by Khaled Hosseini, it takes place in Afghanistan, narrated by a boy names Amir- i can't really say what it's really about without spoiling it, maybe Anais can do a better job. But it's a father-son, friendship, story.

I have enjoyed it so far, i especially like it because it's not predictable- you never know what's lurking behind the corner sort of book

Quote:


The Kite Runner is a story about healing and regret, family, and the significance of blood. It's meaningful because of its raggedness around the edges - the story is not a clean break. Loose ends don't tie themselves up neatly by the time the story is over. It's realistic. The storytelling is rich and meaningful in its use of language. The other special thing is the fact that it's not a conventional American novel, but still the characters are presented in a spiritual-cultural rather than a religious format (the spirituality and the culture is portrayed well and emphasized, the characters have dimension and don't come across as "foreign")

Hope this helps
Anais
