My mock exams are going on. Today I had Biology units 1, 2 and 3. As you may all know, Unit 1 was "taught" by Mr Abdul Majeed, so the mock exam paper was also set by him. He is the guy who does not know anything about biology. He is the guy who cannot afford to complete a sentence without adding the word 'get' before a past participle [e.g. "it is ( Read more... )

"The distance between [Mount] Safa and [Mount] Marwah is 378 cubic meters, and the distance between the shrines of 'Abbas and Imam Husayn is 378 cubic meters.

Yesterday, my folks and I went swimming at the community pool.
I showered and climbed down into the pool.. I think I'd finished half a lap or so when I realized that I had something in my pocket [who the hell makes pockets in swimming shorts?!]. I clenched my teeth in dread - it was my poor, mazloom cell phone. So that was the end of the faithful ( Read more... )

Today was the last day of school for this academic year. I remember the first day.. exactly 9 months ago, September 10th, 2005. I was so dazed and confused in Physics and Math. Didn't know a lot of people, thought the teachers looked scary but I was confident ( Read more... )

This huge ulcer-like thing is developing inside my mouth. On the inside of my bottom lip. It's so irritating. It hurts when I move my lip. It hurts even when I don't move it.
