A little about me …

 

Background

         

I’m originally from Iraq. I was actually born and raised there. After the Gulf War life wasn’t easy anymore and my family decided that it was time to move. We first went to Jordan and stayed there for about a year and a half and then we made the big trip to the US.

 

Currently I am living in Salt Lake City, Utah. Why did I go there? Well my grandma is actually from Salt Lake and we had some relatives living there.

What I’m doing now…

 

          I’m a student at the University of Utah and I’ll be starting my junior year in the Fall 2002.

 I’m majoring in computer science but I’d like to focus on graphics and animation.

Personal Interests

 

My biggest interest would probably be art, art in all its forms. I enjoy going to the theatre and visiting art galleries and art shows. I’m not a big fan of modern art, I can’t seem to comprehend it and it doesn’t spark any interest within me.

 

Also, I love horses! I'm not sure what it is but since I was little I had always wanted a horse and I would try to convince my parents to buy me one but alas my efforts were wasted. However a few months ago I discovered that one of the houses in the neighborhood a few streets down had a horse in the backyard. I couldn’t understand why anyone would own a horse in the city but these people do and I’m not complaining.

 

Sports…hmm well they never were really big with me, let’s just say that I enjoy watching sports rather then doing them. Exceptions would be swimming, ice-skating and badminton. Many people though don’t consider badminton and ice-skating a sport and I have to agree to some degree, to me they’re more of a hobby and an activity.
