Not Dead
Hey.
So, this is just a post to say, I'm alive. Just barely. Lawls. I've been mucho busy lately. I bet a lot of you are wondering, wth could you be busy with? I mean, come on, you're on vacation. Pfft. Yeah, that's mostly true.
Well, right now I'm busy with packing for school, since that starts soon, so I've gotta move in to my new apartment before the 25th. Packing's been okay, for the most part. Well... I haven't really gotten to packing packing yet. I've got a lot to get done before I really start. Tomorrow I'm headed to the store to pick up the essentials. Oh, and I should finish cleaning my room.
I did get some good news over the last few days. I got into the minor I applied for like back in January. So now I can officially say that I'm a Computer Science major with a minor in Digital Arts. Digital arts is basically animation and graphics design. Tis gonna be fun. If I make anything cool or interesting I'll be sure to link you guys.
I also did get to attend the Heroes premiere. See, I work for a club on campus and one of our fundraising events was to go to TV tapings. The girls went to a few other ones, but the only one I went to was Rules of Engagement. I've never seen the show until the taping, but its pretty funny. The series stars David Spade, and Patrick Warburton. It was nice to see them in person. Patrick Warburton actually said hi to all of us and had a Q/A... I was too nervous to ask my question though. Darn. Anyway, we had gone to a few tapings and the company told us we could get to go to the Heroes premiere as a form of compensation. So yeah, if you see me in the stands screaming like a mad woman, you can be like... I know her from LJ! Hahah. I'll post pics soon, Iike I've said... sooo busy.
Well, with good news there's always the bad. We had a death in our family; my mom's aunt, actually. She was my distant relative, but I've met her before and she was a really sweet lady. She will be missed greatly. Also, my mom's cousin is in bad health as well. He has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. My thoughts and prayers go out to both families.
As for my fasting, I got a little off track since I got a little sick, but I'm better now and I'm back to fasting. I've started re-reading the Quran, not only just in Arabic, but the meaning as well. I've gotta say, it's pretty interesting when you really get into it. Basically after prayers, I read at least two pages, and my mom spots my Arabic for me. I'm proficient in reading the language, but you really shouldn't mess up when you're reading the Holy Book. I mean, it'd be bad to misread Allah's divine words and what not.
I'm also trying to stick to my diet. I've gotta say though, its really hard. Especially with the food my mom cooks. I want it so bad, but I know it's not good to have it. Take today for instance, we went to the chinese restaurant and got noodles and soup. She kept asking if I would eat it, or if I wanted anything for myself. If I say no she starts feeling bad. And I don't want her to feel bad, so I eat some. Then I feel guilty about eating something off the diet. I've been feeling so fat and blah about myself lately. It's terrible. I don't know if it's that weird, bad feelings mixed with good things, mixed with tragedies, or even if it's just my medication making me crazy. Whatever it is, I really don't like it, cause its making me not like myself. I want to, but I don't think I know how anymore.
Anyway, that's my crazy NotDead! Post. I hope I'll be able to update soon. Or at least more often than I have been.
Toodles.
