We missed you too, Maggie. How are all the animals. I'd love to see pictures of the giant sulcata in your shed.
I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.....he's not 2 yet and weight this a.m. was 31 lb. He's pretty and has a weird personality. He's really taken over Bob's shed.
I can't seem to bring up my 3k photos........But I'll try and put some pictures out. Neither computer really works welll

Hey people! Sorry haven’t been online since forever. Long story short, I’ve been busy. I’ve been working and writing intensely since I left. I’ve only taken the past two summers off. I spent them both in the US. The summer of 2016 in Philadelphia. I stayed with family friends, and it was really fun. Then, I spent the summer of 2017 in New York City. I spent the summer at the St. Regis, and it was heavenly. I made a lot friends, quite a few of which I’ll see at university. This leads me to the following. I’ve been super surprise busy with college application these past few months. Something truly life changing happened the past Thursday at 7:00 PM. At exactly that time, I opened my laptop. It was Friday, 4:00 AM in Dubai. I clicked on “Application Status Update”.


An acceptance letter from Columbia University.


I am truly honored to have such an opportunity, and I wanted to say thank you for providing me with support when I needed it. I’ll try to be more active on here, seeing that I’m less busy right now.


How’s everyone been doing? Any major changes?

Wow, Abdulla. . . so nice to see you posting again. So you're going to be going to Columbia. That's great news. Will you live on campus? I'll bet the weather is quite a bit different there than what you were used to in Abu Dhabi. Welcome back!

Living on campus is mandatory for all freshmen, so I’ll live on campus the first year. Not sure if I want to stay at apartment later on, it sounds a little isolating.

With regards to the weather, I’m realllly glad I’ll get to feel cold every now and then. Plus, it’s just another excuse to get more faux fur clothing. :)

It's going to be really cold! You might need real fur - it's a lot warmer than the fake stuff. What is your major?

I buy fake fur because I'm vegan, so I'll probably end up buying a lot of clothing till I figure out what works best. I'm a shopaholic so the thought of that provides with a lot of relief, lol.

I'll probably major in chemistry, specifically organic chemistry. I want to end up being either a cosmetic chemist or work in the pharmaceutical industry. If that doesn't work out, I may have to get a degree in biology and become a professor. I much prefer becoming a cosmetic chemist though.
