First of all, I noticed two weeks for a vacation is just too damn short! You can barely get anything done, nevertheless have some quality time.

I miss my car, like really very much. I plan on (literally) kissing it when I first come back to Egypt.

I did not finish not even 20% of dksystem v3.0, which was supposed to be almost ready for public beta testing by now; blame that on the 2 weeks we had!

Good news; I recoded theIntranet entirely from ground up again. It looks the same but definitely will act differently - the directory textbox on top of everything is now AJAX’ated (inspired by Facebook), and the whole thing should be much much much faster than before, I cut the queries by like 90% this time round (yeah, now it only uses 1 query rather than 10 queries per page view).

I packed the new German Center website with our new version of theIntranet, it should impress them as well as motivate more departments to want to be part of GUCers.

Burger King Egypt is far better than Burger King Kuwait, I wonder why that is though.

The system won’t show me my new schedule for financial reasons, although my sister gets to see hers without any problem (no comment here).

I bought some new clothes, although I don’t really care or mind going with the same clothes for years as long as they’re still intact.

I’m getting fatter, and I need to stop that.

It’s very hot here in Kuwait, the weather is far nicer than that of Egypt; I wish I never go back.

A guy tells me they’re going to teach us methods and recursion in CS the next semester. My first though: people couldn’t get the hang of the while loop in the first semester and they’re going to have to deal with recursion so soon, nevertheless, methods; wow, can’t wait to see the reaction.

I should be sleeping, dad’s alarm just went off.
