God is willing my first intern will be in Snunoo, one of the largest startups in Qatar.

CMUQ is CS focused, even bio and business students take CS courses. During the lecture professor says “this is x and this is y, and here is the question. Now, CODE! Just code it is only 2 lines.” ?

1 month in Qatar??
It all started with me and my luggage, going with a transfer, alone, in my first international flight. Transfer in Tbilisi was a really bad idea, I went through 10x problems in a matter of minutes, at one point barely kept my tears (30 mins before flight when I still didn’t get my transfer ticket). But anyways, I did it right??

First two weeks was all fun. New friends, orientation week, hang outs, food, traditions. Despite the fact that I already “over-idealized” life in Qatar before arrival, it still met and exceeded my expectations.

Third week: welcome to real CMUQ. Still there are endless events, clubs, entertainment. But now you have to put your head down and study ? Is it difficult? If you study on time, attend office hours, SI sessions and seek help, you’ll be just fine. (Just like at NU!) So far I am doing ok, thank God.

I had several “dream come true” tweets especially when it comes to Islam in Qatar. I was shocked: They gave free handout books about introducing the Islam to newcomers. Growing up in a country where people are forced to hide anything related to religion, it felt so surprising and warm.

Now that I have several deadlines coming up, writing post as a matter of mental break? as usual, wish me luck ?

3x attended the hospital just to get registered back to my village’s clinic and get an immunisation form.

Witnessing some of the unwelcoming faces of workers at private sectors, I really understand we have a long to go

— register me to this hospital
—We register only families, not individuals ?
— but I am over 18?
— I need the approval of the doctor, he is having lunch ?

the word “minnat” made sense more than ever before ?‍↕️?

But in my third visit (another private clinic), one person turned out to be “fidokor” and he helped to get all the docs within an hour?

Whatever , I got my docs, and ready to register for the fall courses. Let’s go?

The time our team realized that we got 1st place counting from the bottom.

Ps: it was cold.

That day our introverted girlie gave chocolates for us, and said, “for my lovely roommates”.

Room 709. Four girls from different regions and countries, made it home. We were all different and we would have lots of night talks regarding all kinds of topics. We would perfectly compromise, celebrating our diversity.

Thanks to my roommates, the Foundation year was filled with trust&care&love. Thank yaaa!

(I will always remember Alina’s lovely and crazy songs, and her unconditional love for Sehyon. She in pic 2, she is my side-mate so we were closer?)
