So is that the way junior year works??? hmmm...

6 August 2009


By far I call it the best day of junior year! Well, it's only been four days, but out of the four, today was certainly the best one!

Why do I say so? Here are some reasons:

1. I have made two new friends, who are actually really nice. As far as I know! Although I don't like being the first one to attempt for a conversation, but if I wouldn't have, my friend Ayesha (from my old school) and I would have been isolated from the whole class forever; considering the seats we prefer in the class, the corner most seats at the back! So in the Physics lab I finally broke the ice with, Salima! Who later introduced us (me and Ayesha) to Rida! For now I am pretty happy with them! At least Ayesha and I have someone other than each other to talk to!

2. I was also able to find a very nice van buddy, Sakina! Now not only have I got new friends in my class but also in my van! Could it get any better for a day?

3. Now I am also able to categorize the people in my class, with a little help from Salima and Rida; Ayesha and I have come up with the following categories:
-The totally funny one: Mr. TS
-The one who think she is all that but she is not: Miss. MCO
-The class flirt: Mr. M (though my friend Farwa, another girl from my old school, thinks he is a wanna be, I actually think he isn't that bad!! OMG..he is a good flirt :P)
-The over-smart hateful one: Mr. S (He is desperate and eeeww)
-The really confident, not-afraid-of-anyone, don't-care one: Mr. ZA (he is such a don't care person, he can pass the rudest most hideous comment and not care, though he doesn't do anything like that until triggered to do so!)
-The girl who sits in the corner and observes: Okay so that would be me!

Other than that as it's just been two days since I have started going in a van, I forget which one is my van! And I have to ask this guy to tell me which one it is , so I'll categorize him as The one who knows where my van is!

I think that's it! This is how much I know my junior year class, but then again It has just been four days, eventually I'll know everyone!

Anyways, so today is a holy night known as Shab-e-Barat. We stay up the whole night to pray to the Almighty, and beg for his forgiveness, assistance and mercy. I have plans of praying as well!

Here in Pakistan young kids, mostly tweens and teens of the male species, have this tradition of spending the night blowing off firecrackers! Now the adults are totally against it as it is total disturbance in their prayers. Girls are not into this stuff because they are not allowed out of the house with guys! That is what the ethical code of the society states.

So I have never ever indulged into these activities rather I pray and hate these people for the disturbing! But boys will be boys or should I say animals!

Anyways, I am also planning to fast tomorrow! If you're still not familiar with Muslim tradition of fasting, lemme explain. We get up before dawn and eat a little then after the morning prayer to dusk, we don't eat or drink anything. Then at dusk, after the prayer calling we eat, which is known as Iftar. Our religion gives us this concept, so that we learn patience and we experience what the poor and hungry experience everyday. In the Muslim calender, there is month called Ramadan when we fast for 30 days and then once Ramadan is over we celebrate Eid, a festival for those who have fasted and prayed to Allah.

I'll soon be posting in pictures of how Iftar looks like! Ramadan are about to start too! Hope days to come are good ones! InshAllah!
