EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, thank goodness the exams are now over and we can relax!! We had our last exam today and we are sooo glad its over..lol. 6 exams in 6 days!! Alhamd, finished. We did well in them too, Alhamd, Sabiha ofcourse better then me, but that was expected :) We dont know how the other students did, but the teachers said everyone did well. So thats great!!

We just found out today as well where they are sending us for our 1 week break. So there is actually a story that goes with this, so be patient!! :) About a month and a half ago, we were told that they would send us to Umra - Mecca and Medina, because we are the first students and also we came into the course blind so they wanted to reward us for that. However, after trying and trying, the school was not able to obtain a visa, mainly because our residency in Syria has not yet been given to us. So that plan was put on hold.

Then about 2 weeks ago from today, they said Plan B would be to send us to Iraq - to go for pilgrimage to Najaf, Kerbala, Kadhmain and if possible Samarra... so we were excited, i mean who wouldnt be. However, they put together a Plan C as well, it was called "Syria - the cradle of civilazation" just in case the 'head people' of this course wouldnt accept plan b. so we waited and waited and waited, and they didnt tell us. We asked and asked and asked, and they wouldnt tell us. Finally yesterday they let us know that it is................. you ready?????

PLAN C!! lol, we are not surprised, but definitely excited. It will be a good chance to get away from here for a few days, and just relax. So Plan C we were originally told would be for 5 nights to different cities in Syria, 5 star hotels and 3 meals a day provided. That was yesterday... yup you guessed it, it has changed. Now its 4 nights (Palmyra, Aleppo, Latakia and Tortous - one night in each city) from 5 star hotels we are down to 3 stars, LOL, and from 3 meals a day we are down to only breakfast LOL LOL. Not the organizers fault at all, but the agency was giving him different answers, but thats Syria for you. We still excited, dont worry. We were planning on going to Latakia sometime in the future anyways, this way we dont have to go.

So we will be leaving early Saturday morning, that is what is confirmed right now, lets see what changes :) Its us, the other couple, and the other couples family, 5 of them, so all together 9 people. We pray that transportation is comfortable and we are not all cramped, especially cause we will have luggage as well. Tomorrow we plan on going to KFC..lol, its finger lickin good!!

LOL, ok, take care for now, wont get a chance to blog till we get back in 5 nights, i mean 4 nights... :)

Take care!!
