Reflecting upon my Systems Engineering experience at UVa
I write this entry as I approach the brink of concluding my academic career at the University of Virginia. This is indeed an opportunity for introspection and reflection with regards to the past four years and the future that awaits me after graduation. I believe this sort of reflection is beneficial so as to recalibrate my current strategy and plan ahead for the future. In retrospect, I must admit that my journey at UVa has been rewarding and self-fulfilling. I recall visiting Princeton University’s campus during my early formative high school years. The idea of living a college town with a historical legacy behind it appealed to me since. read more »

31 August 2009
CAIRO: A report issued by the American Congressional Research Service said there are differences between Egypt and the United States about how to determine the form of the annual aid given to Egypt, especially in the light of an agreement between the two nations to reduce economic aid, but maintain military assistance, America in Arabic reported on Sunday.
The new report comes after an earlier report this month said that Washington would end aid to Egyptian NGO’s not on an approved government list, which led to widespread anger among dozens of local independent NGO’s that would lose much of their funding. read more »

America is full of shit. Just look at how racist and violent Israel is.
