Ya Rubby....
Sick, tired, burning watery eyes, runny nose, cold, painful headache....O Season Change..tsk tsk tsk...The other day (prior to my sickness) in my English class, the sound of the runny noses of half of my class was echoing throughout the whole period (whoop-whoop-whoop--------whoop- if that sounds like it). Now it's my turn. I could take anything, absolutely ANYTHING, but no to cold. You can't concentrate in class, you can't talk (if you really want people to hear how you sound then go ahead; totally someone else!) can't even write or read in peace! Your runny nose is just going wild thru these moments! Oh boy. What a day. You simply cannot do a single thing. Couldn't take this day off-you are in a MISERABLE state if you even miss one day of this grade; weekend ahead and insh'Allah I'll get better. *goes back to sucking those soups and ancestral remedies*
oh boy, last year insh'Allah! can't wait to get over with this year! *just started lol*
Chemistry oh God....you can never have chemistry with calculus...a no no. On top of it, this calculus class was supposed to be a REGULAR one, not an AP (Advanced placement-a bit more advanced than the regular one) class!! A bunch of other kids were like "whoaa We CHOSE regular!why on earth were we placed here!!", so we went to the Guidance Councellor..he said" oh no problemo, zis is a meexed class, regular and AP". Apparently, there weren't enough people for the AP class- appx 10 people, so Mash'Allah, bright clever teachers decided to mix regular and AP people altogether. It isn't tough (well it's going to be in the next few chap's *dry*), thing is, when you've got chemistry, English, calculus AND psychology, you ARE really gonna turn into a psycho!
Now my current problem is "the struggle with the shyness disease" . It hasn't just recently struck me-it's been going on for years, but this year is a bit more critical. How do I overcome it? I have no idea. In psycho. class, we discuss countless of things more than we write; as a matter of fact, when do we ever write? :huh: It's plain discussions. God....I love discussions so long I don't get involved (which is something I really despise about myself) and it's like that's the way to get marks!!!UGHH...plus a lot of these topics sometimes touch Islam/culture/marriage issues/etc and I really want to stand up for myself and talk like other people!!!But I can't!!!!I AM tooooo SHYYY and quiet!!! UFFFFFFF...shy from what? I have absolutely no clue. It's been driving me crazyyy lately. As my mother jokes, " the girl talks to her shadow" :( which is something not nice to say about her darling daughter. There was this convo going on in psycho. class the other day, and the teacher was telling us about his experience with one of the "devoted muslim"families while staying in Egypt, and the incident goes like this:
Teacher admiring the big huge vase sitting in the living room...
Teacher to the lady of the house: ohh this is once amazing vase you've got.
Lady: ohhh thank you :) you can take it!!! really!!!take it back home with you.
Teacher :huh: : no really...thanks, but I can't take it home with me.
Lady: noooooo you have to take it!!!
Teacher (embarrased): no really...I was just complimenting it..
Lady: oh come onnnnn...you have to show it to your wife, family,etc...you have to take it.
*cross eyes*
and it just went on and on and on. The poor guy was like "WTW" is this something like common amongst arabs/muslims that "once you admire something, you'll have to take it!" ??and the whole class was like "whaaaa" and me stupid wanted to say: oh this is just a matter of being generous..nothing really hehe" ufff min 3adat il 3arab...
But I didn't.
I laughed with them..ugh. There were some other incidents too...one I actually commented on, when he was "again" admiring the baby and how cute he was, the lady was like "ohhh this is bad...bla bla bla" I am like "huh" then I actually said that this is just some superstitious stuff, evil eye and whatnot...don't take it seriously. So yeah, he's like I know....then continued laughing. Man, what is wrong with those people!!!!3urbaaaan!!What in the world is wrong with complimenting a baby? It's actually nice to say that this baby is cute and adorable and all that. Maybe it's not the same with the Egyptians. huh I dont get those people really. Typical arabs.
Anyway, I am trying hard...evaluating myself daily...I hope I will get over it one day.
gotta prepare Iftar..BTW, RAMADAAAANNNNNNN MUBARAAAAAAAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
probably this sunday insh'Allah. May we get closer to Allah and may He accept all our deeds in this Holy Month insh'Allah.
until then, take care!!!
Salaams! :)
How are you doing? Insha'Allah well.
Ramadhan Mubarak to you as well. We are blessed by been given a month laden with Allah's mercy. Alhamdolillah!
Oh, just to make you feel better ... what would you call a person who is majoring in medicinal chemistry, and at the same time undertaking a course dealing with Psychology & Personality Disorders? ... I'll give you the opportunity to ponder and reflect more ... lol.
Through out these years I have learnt to see 'niceness' in everything I cast a glance upon. It is a self-made remedy to the occasional bouts of depression. Trust me it does miracles! :D
Anyway, all the best habibti.
Take care,

Sick, tired, burning watery eyes, runny nose, cold, painful headache....O Season Change..tsk tsk tsk...
... This sounds more like seasonal allergies.
Some how I can never sit during the lectures without having my nose buried in my hanky - it is very annoying, but still bearable.
In that case some simple anti-allergic drugs would do the trick.
ps. please donot hold me responsible if wrongly diagnosed! :D
