And again!

I think I owe an explanation to all the kind people who asked why I haven’t been updating my blog in the last two months. My Persian blog was closed for a while and because of that I got a lot of emails. When I reopened my Persian blog, I spent a while replying those emails, as well as spending time on writing there frequently to get my audience back. It’s really difficult to keep both blogs at the same time.

The other reason was that I really hate the current interface of my English blog. A dear friend of mine promised to redesign it for me, but he was busy for a while. After that, I had a horrible car accident. The car was totaled and one of my ribs fractured. I was in a sort of shock. So, I really didn’t feel like writing. In the middle of this, my dear friend sent me a design for my blog, but I was so messed up that I totally neglected it.

When Shargh was closed, one of my friends asked why it happened and I wanted to write to her about it. Then I thought I can post something about it here in case others have the same question.

By the way, the friend who asked me about Shargh is my new friend at the college and she found me through my blog! (Yes, I should say again that “God bless the Internet!”*) I’m so happy that I met her because she’s a very interesting person and it feels so good to have a friend like her on a huge campus that everybody is on her own.

My husband has left for an internship in DC and it’s kind of weird for me to live alone for the first time in my life. I know that’s an experience that almost every kid has in US at the time of college. But that’s a rare case for young people in Iran, especially girls, to leave their parents before they are married. That’s why I’ve never lived alone in my 28 years of life.

It’s weird but at the same time interesting. I think it will make me more responsible and aware of my life, because now there is nobody else to pay attention to all the details. If I forget something, there’s nobody to remind me of that. If I don’t clean, there’s nobody else to do it. So, I should remember everything and be very careful not to get my life messed up.

Schoolwork is really heavy this semester (well every semester I say that!), so I might not update very often (don’t hesitate to say “like anybody cares?!!”), but I’ll try my best to write about stuff that are related to Iran.

Thanks for visiting my blog although I disappear every now and then!

New here. I usually monopolize the comments at Above the wall. Really some other people should visit there. So my computer has a registry problem and I can't read the latest from Above the wall. Neda has a link and and I followed it here. I am very interested in Iran, and have been interested for a long time. I want very very much to visit......some day.....
Sun, I like the comments of your blog. I will book mark it. Thanks for the tea and cookies. ;-)

I am sure that your Persian readers are happy to have you back, too! :)

I was sorry to hear about your car accident when you first told me about it. I am really glad that you were not seriously injured! I am curious about something. I know that women can drive cars in Iran. Did you have a lot of experience in driving a car before you came to the U.S.? Sometimes the drivers here can be really crazy! Also, in recent years, many people have started driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time, making things even more dangerous!

I have lived alone at times in the past, but in a way, not totally alone. I always had relatives living within an hour or less of driving distance. In moving to the U.S., I am sure that you have left most or your relatives very far behind. I'm not sure that I could have done the same thing. I hope that you get to see your husband often, and that your temporary separation will be over soon. I know how difficult than can be!

I don't update my blog that often either. I am too busy reading other blogs and writing comments! However, your posts are worth waiting for. :)

good to have you back on your English blog, by the way it is sad what happened to Shargh.

Aw girl! Thanks for the kind words. The feeling is most definitely mutual. I'll have to have you over soon to see how much I love living alone. It's great for clearing the head. And remember, even if you live alone, you are not alone!
