Hi Sarah, glad to hear school's going well! Congratulations on completing your first term! :) My new term of classes just started at the beginning of January. So far so good, though some days the schedule is a little more chaotic than others. I'm sure you can relate. Good luck with your next classes and learning programming! You're going to do great!

Your finals started huh.. I will only give you an advice a wise and a smart girl gave me once when i was stressed b.c of the exams and all... I dont recall it exactly but it was somethin like this "Kolo hay3dy bsor3a gdan believe me" :)
Guess wat.. i didnt believe her but it was so true :D... it was you by the way :P
The pump.. Sara this is not an advice this is an order :P.. you have to get one asap isa.. as you may know we hated the idea of the tubes and all but once she started on it.. took her one day and she fall in love with it.. BS are a little high but that will be fixed isa by icreasing the basal dose.. she started on it 2 weeks ago el 7amdollah so far so good :).. just something you should know.. MONEYY lots and lots of Money :P.. im guessin you already knew that
