HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!

I don't want to be sentimental...but.....maybe this is one of the best gifts I get for my birthday...Linda and her staff has planned a birthday party for us who were born in January and February (Fahmida, Mary, Noureddine, and I)...hikhikhikhikhik.... so touching........ even though that was a small party, but .... I know the spirit within!Thanks Linda, Jennifer, Rose, my fellow teachers especially Abdessalam who (on behalf on other teachers, I guess) has given me a meaningful present: A note book!!! (I must study harder. Am I correct, Abdessalam?)

Fahmida, I, Noureddine, and Marry held the birthday cake

Okay, let's move on to the next project...sorry...the new story. Mmmmm...we have a chance of becoming guests stars (I don't know the term) for Global Tourism Class under Prof. Wang. This class' objective is to recognize the world's tourism resorts and thaat was our job to introduce our beloved country to them. We were grouped and three students were assigned to gather info from us. That was nice "chat" as we did it while enjoying some pizza, coke, and chinese food. Yummy........!That's pretty cool, though. We can share anything as they listened carefully.

Then.......tratatatatatatatatatatatatatata...... One of the most exciting moments came!!! We went ice-skating!! It was Saturday morning when we headed to AKRON Ice rink arena. We paid $2 for renting a pair of skating boot. I was so nervous as I heve never done it before!! But that's okay, at least there is always the first thing for everything, right? I started walking by holding the fence!!(what a shame...) I saw soooo......many little kids skated freely (another "what a shame")..but, minutes later.....ready...get set...gOOOO...... gedubraakkkkk, fell down (the third "what a shame"). Practice makes perfect, guys...and finally... I made it...... I could skate on thick ice....like a professional.....huakakakakakak. You know what? Several times I fell down and it felf hurt all over my body until the next morning....Ouch! At least I learn on how to skate, you know?

Ice skating...unforgettable experience

Suharyadi "Harry Potter" is in action ready to rumble!!

One more thing, the hottest issue in the US right now is....... the General Election. The candidates are racing neck to neck to be nominated for the presidency! Awesome! Democrats comes with OBAMA and CLINTON, Republican with John McCain, Huckabee, and Paul. CNN is the most concerned TV station on this issue. So far, Obama is the front runner for democrats, while McCain is for Republican. What's going on in the future.....Which one do you prefer?????Obama, Clinton, or McCain? Wait till November 08!

Change we can believe in (Obama's motto)
