I really want to remember my address (FB 1-9) and my phone number (+974 783 7494), so I'll put them here for posterity.
But beyond that, here are a few of my favorite memories:
My best New Year's ever, in Istanbul.
The first night I hung out with the people that would become my closest friends. Also one of the first times I had karak. Also, the day that I got my nickname, Corniche.
My walk with some of the other exchange students along the Corniche, and how uncomfortable we were bargaining. Not any more, my friend! Best price?
Constantly going to Bandar and getting karak. Or going out and getting shawarma.
My roadtrip around Qatar.
Going to Maya's for the first time. (Also the day that Hillary Clinton came to CMU-Q!)
Those are the memories that stick out, but even as I was going through the posts and trying to find the links, I saw other days that I loved and am so glad I blogged about so I can remember them.
Because, while I love all of you, my dear readers... this blog was for me. I learned to say "yes!" to activities when I thought I didn't have enough time, just to get some fodder for this blog. I analysed and reflected more on my experiences when I went to write about them. Yes, this blog will be a time capsule of my time in and around Qatar.
I have become slightly addicted to blogging, and, while I doubt it will be daily, I'll start another one. Here is your link to continue checking me out: corinnewalters.blogspot.com.
