Loooooong Time No See (UPDATED)

  What can I say?? Busy? That's old. Internet? That's obvious. Exams or Time? That's busy but not in so many words. Dead? That's permanent. Let's just say all the previous without the dead part. Thing is; after getting tired of our old internet service provider who was way overloaded, we decided to try another one, the process from searching for one until finally connecting to internet from home again took more than a week. This time it is remarkably faster but has a habit of coming and going when most subscribers are online. We know our internet speed by going to this link , our speed came 121.52 Kbps.


  What happens when you stop coming online suddenly for more than a week; You come back with an email that has 36 unread messages in it, and an instant messenger full of offline messages asking where are you, why are you never online and when will you be online again.


  A couple of days ago the national assembly decided it was time to make a few decisions for a change, the result was the new president Maam Jallal. His name is Jallal but I don't know why or what is Maam. But the reflections in the Iraqi street came almost a zero, no one actually cared about the new president, or the new government because it is just ink on paper until now. These days the last year students of each department are having their graduation parties, each department calibrate on a different day, ours is on Sunday. The college is full of colors and each department makes a list of it's graduating students and in front of each name is a nickname of the student, a sentence he/she always say or something known of him/her that could be used as a reminder. While on the same time me and a couple of guys on our way to college, the car broke down in the middle of a traffic mess, unable to get the original to work and unable to get another our only option was to walk. With a time limit on our backs we did a little more than 3 km on feet in less than an hour, until we reached a place where we could get a ride, which we did happily.
