It's been a while.

I realise that I've been rather absent from the blog, but now I'm here to make up for it all.

School is great. I'm enjoying myself at Middlesex, and driving up and down in my new car. People are nice and friendly, professors are nice and know who I am, and the workload isn't killing. The best thing is I don't have exams because my program is such. At least, most of my courses are coursework based, very few have exams, and those will only happen in later years of study.

I'm volunteering for the Dubai International Film Festival from the 11th to the 16th at Cinestar Cinemas at the Mall of the Emirates, so if any Dubai people come that way during that week, you'll probably see me standing there, doing something. I'm not sure what exactly, but I'll be doing something.

Nothing else particularly exciting to write about here. I've had to submit an essay on Al Jazeera's new English channel, so I've been asking people in India to find books for me because Dubai has nothing, not even the public libraries. Yup, I checked the public libraries. Have you even been inside any public library in Dubai? I thought not.

So before I stretch this any further, I just wanted to say that it's nice to hear that people are okay and alive. Just like me.
