Letter 29

Hey Dad!
How are you? I feel bad I'm writing less and less. But it's just for now. The past two weeks I've been very en edge and depressed. Well we got our grades from the exams and I'm extremely relieved. I thought I failed at every single subject. But it turns out i only have two grades under the average which I am currently working on. But in my report card they made a mistake on my economy exam and forgot to add 2.25pts but they can't fix their mistake. They're gonna add the 2.25 on my next test. Apparently, this year, the first trimester is the hardest. If that's the case, then I'm happy I survived through it. It's weird, last year in the literary subjects i wouldn't dream on getting over 8 out of 20 but this year my grades shot up to 11. I should now push myself a bit more in the sciences to get better grades and to insure I can go into the S (scientifique -> filière). Then I'll review my choice better to decide if I would want to transfer to L (Litteraire -> filière). I quite stressed about my future. It's so unnerving that i have to make an important choice that will affect my future decisions. Worst off all, I'm supposed to decide and i have no clue what I want to do. I know I'm not really supposed to know where I'm heading because nobody ever figures that out early. But what if I get bored? What if I'm not good enough? What if what I want to do is very broad? Okay so I'm starting to ramble and I'm getting tired of this subject it's constantly in the back of my mind.
Anyway. I'm extremely tired and i really need to sleep. Tomorrow me and mom are heading to check out Batroun house and see where the progress arrived and I'll update you on the house.
Love you so much my daddy!
I miss you every single day.
Kisses from home.

Just a Christmas tree we saw. Apparently they used approx. 2300 series of red lamps. Very impressive.

Letter 27

Hi Dad!
How are you? First letter in 2010. I'm so sorry I haven't written in so long. But now I actually have a lot to say!
So first of all, I'm supposed to be studying for a project. I have to analyze a text of Emile Zola's Therese Raquin. I hated the book.... well okay not really hated but it disturbed me. And as bad as I used to be in French now I'm one of the best in my class. I'm getting great grades that last year I would dream of having in french. I guess that I didn't give it a chance to try it out. But now when i have to read and find what the author really meant when he wrote his novel, it's just fascinating. I hope one day I'll publish a book of my own.
OH! i forgot to mention that i got qualified to participate in MUN (Model United Nations) it's a simulation of the United Nations that aims to educate. We take on roles as diplomats, investigate international issues, debate, deliberate, consult, and then develop solutions to world problems (Malaria and other diseases, the environment, the economy, etc..). I went to my first meeting and all and it was great. in my class we were about 60 people my age. When the teacher asked questions some people make you feel so stupid. it's like they studied for it and know everything by heart while you sit there and bow your head so that the teacher doesn't pick you to answer the question. For me, everything we talked about was totally new for me. But it was cool. Though something did disappoint me a lot. They told us that everything will be in english but there is barely a handful of people in my class that can actually structure a simple phrase in English. But they did come to lean right? There is an Ukrainian, a Russian, and two Saudi in my class those are the only foreigners. But it's cool i liked it a lot. Well i still can't say cause i've only been to one meeting. The next one is in 21 days. Yes I'm counting. Hehe. In total there are 7 meetings. And i can't wait!
Yesterday i saw the best movie ever! Avatar. It's amazing! James Cameron is the director, he did Titanic too. He's been working on Avatar since 1994 (the year i was born hehe such an honor! I'm just kidding). 15 years! that's dedication to his work. he said, "Technology needed to catch up." Imagine that! waiting 15 years of waiting for technology to evolve. The graphics are AMAZING!! And the world he created is brilliant. the creatures that he created are amazing. And it's like stuck in my head! i can't stop thinking about it! It's like WOAH! AND THE LANGUAGE! he created a hole language! it's like now heavy and it's not inspired by anything it's completely invented. And the Na'vi people (a race of indigenous humanoids or simply the blue people) are so good looking! And have hot bodies (what dad?! I'm a hormonal teen-aged girl! haha!) I want an Avatar and i want to go to Pandora. He hit $1 BILLION within three weeks of it release! Is that even possible? Here in Lebanon i actually had to reserve my tickets two days in advance? okay you probably have the illusion that I'm obsessed hehe. So I'm not gonna spoil anything for you (in case you wanna watch it... Do you have movies where ever you are?) A
Anyway, i love you my dearest daddy!
I miss you so much!
More that $1 Billion worth of kisses..
Your daughter that love you so much.
