Its about time...
Okay I haven't updated in like forever. So bear with me. Let's see I'll recap the month of March. The very first weekend involved a trip of Ismaili high school students and made me really happy to see them because a lot of them were from Atlanta. It also involved me getting a lot of rejection from the things I applied to in February. I never made it off the MPC waitlist or the Buxton house waitlist (RA program and International house for next year...places I would have lived). Made me do a lot of self-reflection/crying. Then I didn't get Camp Mosaic and that just kind of topped it all. I really wanted to be CF this summer. I guess there is always next year. I still need to figure out my plans for the summer...where I'll be going, who I'll be seeing, what I'll be doing. Very little time to do that considering this year is almost over. I can't believe it. So much has happened...its been like a season of Dawson's Creek...no joke. Mid-terms went relatively well but I'm kind of borderline in some classes right now. Round 2 will be starting up after Spring Break and then finals. Should be pretty intense. As far as other things go, I've been pretty busy up until this past weekend practicing for the Cultural Show, which was so fun. I mean part of it being that I love performing and just being on stage/in front of a camera and all the attention that comes with it. But it was also so well-received everyone was really impressed with our dance and thought the whole show was well done. Its nice to be a part of something like that. Weekends have been fun, going out with friends and just having a good time...last weekend's after party was way fun and after seeing the Fusion show I just really wanted to dance and I got that all out of my system on Saturday night. Yesterday was Navroz, the Muslim New Year so I went to khane, wasn't quite the same as home. Its weird having all these religious holidays while being away from home. Lately I've been pretty happy but now I'm feeling a bit confused. I need to figure out the rest of this semester and how I want to leave things, this summer, and next year. I never really felt that way in high school...mainly because during the summers we still saw each other, we'd run into each other and there was just that reassurance that no one was really permanently out of your life. Here its just so different. During the summer I want to see my friends from home and from school and everyone is from all over the place and I guess part of me is a little scared that this summer will be lonely. Its just weird when things change, when the first person you turn to isn't on your speed dial but in your room. I guess I'm just lucky I have so many people I'm close to and being a little torn isn't such a bad thing. I'm going to try to see as many people I can when I'm home this weekend, so if you are home and you want to get together, please let me know...I would LOVE to chill. I will also be planning to visit a few universities in the area, because I know I'm like the only one on Spring Break. Okay well I will be dreaming of Georgia now and will be enjoying some hopefully fabulous weather soon as well as doing some shopping, driving, chilling...Spending time with good friends and the fam which I miss terribly. This entry is really too long for anyone to actually read and I doubt its very coherent. Whatevs. Miss you guys! Muah!
