Paris, J'adore; Al-Qahira, ana bahibbak; Chicago, I'm coming home!!!

After two and a half long and unbelievable months, I'm finally returning to Chicago.

I was initially planning to return to Egypt once my study abroad program ended in Paris, but unfortunately the situation is still too unstable for me to go back right now. It was a very difficult decision to accept, but a necessary one. My parents and I are planning to return to our family in Egypt as soon as we can after I graduate in June. I'm hoping to spend at least a month, maybe two, living in Egypt in the next year...

I also hope to return to Paris in the near future. Paris has become home for me as well. It is such a fabulous city, and despite the difficulties I've had to deal with, I have enjoyed myself here so much. I look forward to returning under better and less stressful circumstances.

For now, all I want more than anything is to return to Chicago with Mom to be with Dad and finally have time to reflect and catch up properly.

I will also finally have lots of time to write in my blog and share everything that's been on my mind over the last month. I will also share memories from my life in Cairo and my life in Paris, and slowly upload all my pictures on Facebook - including some from Egypt that I've been waiting to post.

In the meantime, keep reading, as I will continue to post my journal from the Revolution. It's gonna get intense...
