(no subject)
So I'm done the arts part of my finals. Ethics, English, and Arabic. Ethics was fantastic. I love our teacher. Our exam consisted of 9 different scenarious in which you have to put yourself in (for example, you are in a warehouse with a mad killer. There is TNT attached to 3 groups of people; 4 pregnant ladies, 4 comedians, and 4 scientests. The mad killer says you can kill a group of people and be set free, or wait for all the TNT to explode and have everyone die (along with yourself). Who do you choose to kill, and why, or do you let the warehouse explode?) and you had to write a little paragraph about what you'd do. Then it was just personality tests that were really fun. English was also good, the book Demian is interesting and we discussed it thoroughly and so the exam was simple, but Arabic today ripped everyone a new hole. It was just so, so, so bad. I thought I was the only one that fucked up but apparently everyone else did. Oh well. So anyway, my week is gonna be looking like this:
Today: Study Bio
Tommorow: Study Bio
Saturday: Bio test / Study math
Sunday: Study Math, Aunt arrives
Monday: Math test / Study chem, Brother arrives
Tuesday: Study chem, Other aunt & family arrive
Wednesday: Chem test, Christmas hols begin.
Also, today one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world, Lamia, arrived from Canada. I'm so excited and can't wait to see her. It's been 4 months since she went to University (Western, no less), the longest time we've been apart since I met her 4 years ago. So I might go see her today for a few minutes.

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
