Cuckoo readers! :)
My name is Nadine, and I just turned 22! I am Egyptian, and I am new to this community as I heard about Steemit from a friend of mine who encouraged me to take my writing skills to a new level.
I hope to maintain my activity on the site, as well as to collaborate with other enthusiastic writers. I have never had a blog before, and I have never written publicly before I got so excited about Steemit. I really hope that my presence here makes a positive impact, even if it is small :)
I just finished studying four years of Computer Science at the British University in Egypt and I feel so relieved! So many long nights spent in studying and coding, that my eyes hurt! I even started wearing glasses because of the time spent on my computer :(
Here is a picture of my university :)
I personally like it at night because when it lights up, it looks so serene!

My relationship with computer science is somewhat of a love-hate relationship. Art inspires me, but programming does me good. I really really have an undying passion for arts, history, philosophy and I even don't know why I got into Computer Science, but I excelled in it. I tried as much as I could to relate between Arts and Technology in my college projects, but they're very unrelated fields. I hope to write soon about my struggles, experiences and accomplishments in my major :)
I am participating in a Kaggle competition titled "Titanic: Machine Learning From Disaster" which I also used as a case-study for writing my Bachelor's thesis. Kaggle is so far, my favorite nerdy website and it is so cool!
One of my weirdest hobbies is that I love watching foreign films with subtitles, and taking screen shots of my favorite scenes/quotes to write them in my diary. When I was younger, I used to read short stories on fanfiction, it is a website where young people get creative around tv shows, films, animated films by writing different endings or scenarios.
I hope to write soon about the films I watch, books I read and places I go :)
That's all folks!
