So if you thought that I fell off the face of the Earth the past two months, I sincerely apologize! With the start of the new year began the start of my first semester of university, or rather, "Uni", as said by Beiruti's. In the end of January I started at the beautiful campus of The American University of Beirut in an area adjacent to both the posh new Downtown Beirut, a tourist favorite of Hamra, and the Mediterranean Sea.

These past two months since starting have been some of the most exciting moments of my life; filled with interesting people, life long friendships, new experiences and learning new things. It has been a tremendous blessing to be surrounded with so many diverse people and students of different backgrounds from mine, and I feel so grateful everyday to see the love, beauty and wonder in God's design of the world and those in it. As Beirut is a very international city, I have met people from many places around the world.....and that is REALLY the best part of being so far away. All the cultures, languages and little quirks of my friends in contrast or similarity to my background and personality makes me laugh and smile each and every day. It has been, and I hope will continue to be, one of the biggest adventures and learning experiences of my life attending AUB and living in Beirut.
