At Newcastle! - Part Three
Hello everybody,
This blog has been inactive for quiet few months now and I thought it's by time I publish some news. I've been in touch with some of you, filling you in on what I've been up to so feel free to skip on the parts you know.
Many things have happened since October. After spending some time here I realized that keeping a record of my life in this place would be a far more difficult job that I imagined. I've been through a vast number of experiences; academically, socially and otherwise. It didn't take me long to realize that am probably going through the most interesting change in my life.
At the moment, am doing the second semester of my degree program. The first semester was very interesting in terms of subjects, lecturers and schedule. I enjoyed every moment of it, excluding the Christmas vacation when everybody here went back to enjoy the holidays with their families and I was left freezing :P
Despite the stacked schedule, I've been to a number of places during the first semester; notably York and Edinburgh! The latest trip to Edinburgh was magnificent in every aspect! Below are pictures of Edinburgh ...

Some of Edinburgh's Castle ...

and more of Edinburgh from the top of the castle ...

The second semester is going great so far. The courses am doing now are even more interesting than those I did during the first semester. I must say I so much enjoy doing my masters and peruse my studies in gratitude to the chances that brought me here.
Apart from my university, I get to do a whole lot of activities whenever I have the time. I can say my lifestyle has drifted considerably during my stay here. I find myself doing things I never thought I'd be capable of, also enjoying things that never made sense to me ... unbelievable!
Am also adoring the technology available at hand here. Everything starting from life at campus, government work, paying the bills, shopping and down to the simplest things such looking for a place to enjoy a Friday evening is only few clicks away.
The weather in Newcastle is fairly more pleasant than Amman. Although it can get very cold in some days, I still find it more convenient to cope with on contrast to the ridiculously-rapid climate changes in Amman!
Below are photos I've taken for my university during the recent snowfall ...

My friends in this place are adorable! Despite our different cultures, backgrounds, and interests, we still manage to enjoy each others' company and chill like life-time friends. I never bonded with anybody so firmly within months of meeting them. It is really hard to imagine parting ways with them.
Next week I'll be in London to spend a couple of days with the international students society. Chances are I might have something interesting to post about by the time I get back ...
If not ... see ya in some months :P
