Is "Winter" Coming?

This weekend marked the first time where I actually felt chilly in Kuwait.  Light jacket required and everything.  I knew this would come but was still not mentally prepared for it.  It was some what of an abrupt change considering I was laying by the pool last weekend.  Today it has been drizzling on and off.  The past week the weather was heavenly though.  Pretty much perfect weather.  I hope it will make another appearance before it starts to get cool in the winter season.  With weather like this it's really hard to remember that the holiday season is quickly approaching.  I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a Christmas tree for sale (fake of course)...for the low, low price of $520.  What a steal! I think I'll just change the picture on my computer desktop to a Christmas tree instead.  

Quick Update

I must begin by apologizing for the long delay in posting.  I cannot believe that it has almost been three two months!  Oops!  Things are starting to settle down here...getting into a routine with school and relaxing on the weekend.  Unfortunately, as you know, drinking is illegal in Kuwait.  Which I am still coming to terms with accepting.  I feel that I am an adult and am able to make these decisions for myself but what can you do.  Not being able to go to a bar on the weekend makes one become a little more creative when socializing.  Pretty much hanging out at friend's apartments, playing cards, and making do with what we have.  It really isn't that bad.  That being said next weekend I willing be going to Bahrain with two other girls for the weekend.  It is a holiday here so we have November 26-30 off.  I am eagerly awaiting the chance to finally travel outside of Kuwait.  I have also been busy planning and booking our winter break in December.  I will be traveling around Thailand for two weeks with 4 other friends.  I am sure a lot of memories will be made!
