Summer FUN!

So my summer has been pretty good so far. I have managed to keep myself busy going to the hotel pool, working out and an occasional visit to the pub. The summers here are HOT and there are significantly less cars on the road. it really feels like half the country has just up and left. Two of my friends included so I'm waiting idle for there return so i can go out and do more fun stuff.

I use to be really introverted until i went to college and then became a social butterfly. Now that i am in Qatar, it seems like my introverted self has reappeared and I'm much quieter and less active, which is a huge change for me given that i am a NYC girl. It is difficult to meet other people here. Sure there are more expats here than the population of Qatari's but it seems very cliquish and older married folks with kids. Qatar seems like a great place to raise kids but ugh...extremely difficult for the single woman. I've heard talk of a single's group forming soon so hopefully they can get their act together and host events and stuff.



I wish i could update you guys every week but my life is really not that interesting. My internet at home is always breaking down and it takes a week before they come and fix it only to have it happen a few weeks later. My AC was out for almost 2 weeks...NOT COOL! but yay its fixed and i can now watch TV and not break a sweat. :) Oprah has become my new best friend...its so sad i watch her every Saturday - Wednesday. I rarely watched Oprah when i lived in NYC now i swear i refuse to go out and do anything until 9:00 when the show is over. :)

I am looking forward to Ramadan. We only have to work 6 hours a day!! makes me feel like i have another month of Summer! :) woohoo! When i get my internet running I'll be sure to make sure i try and get my own pictures in the slide show. Some weirdos in Qatar made their wedding photos public and it now my Qatar slideshow has wedding pics on it. I have no clue how these people are and I don't like it.
