AAAAAGGGHHH! Oh My God! I had the greatest wake up of my life.. I woke up to the sound of my phone recieving a message.. and it was a friend of mine telling me that we’re both accepted at ACK and our names our in the newspaper! I’m soooooo happy! If you read my past entry you would know how much this means to me I’m so damn excited I was supposed to wait until the 2nd for my name to come out or not but I guess they finished early! I was so happy I had to see for myself I rushed downstairs and rummaged through my Dad’s daily dose of boring newspapers until I found the right one, fished out the useless ads, and searched every page until I found a title with internal scholarships on it and there was my name! Right under the Oil and Gas Engineering section! And there was my friends name! Under Mechanical Engineering! I’m practically vibrating with energy now and I haven’t been up for more than 10 minutes! I don’t even know what to do next! Do I go there and pick up a timetable and student card and do some orientation stuff? Do I wait until they call me?! Argh I don’t even care right now. I called my Mom she’s at the hospital for something this morning and when I told her she started crying! And then she called my sister and told her so while she was calling her I called my Dad and told him and both of them are soooo happy. Dad even said we’re gonna dine out for dinner to celebrate! HOWEVER! For the bad part.. I know you might think I’m stupid, but this is seriously serious. I somehow always remember what I dream about. My sister told me that I only remember because I wasn’t that tired when I went to sleep, and slept when I didn’t need to, so my brain was still awake or something. Never mind that, well I always have really wierd dreams, the kind you know mean something. So I looked up the dream I had last night in my Dream Book. Well I dreamt I was in the desert first of all. The dreambook says “To dream you are travelling across a Desert, or wide open space, signifies difficulties concerning some cherished plan”. My cherished plan for the last month has been leaving KU and going to ACK. So that’s kinda crap. But it gets worse. It says “It is particulary bad if you encounter bad weather or other troubles”. At a point in my dream the weather got so bad and dusty and windy I was on all fours on the ground trying to breathe and see where I’m going. Another “difficulty” as you might call it, there was a ridiculously huge rabid dog who was blocking my way to the car, and I couldn’t get past it. So I looked “Dog” up – “This dream depends upon circumstances. If the dog is friendly, all will be well; if the dog barks, then beware of quarrels, and if he bites you, expect treachery from someone you trust”. And that damn dog in my dream was no angel, he kept trying to attack me! So yeah it’s the very first time I ever look up my dream like this really, and what I got wasn’t so great, in contrast with the acceptance at ACK thing. Hope I have some other cherished plan I don’t know about that this dream is trying to kill. Congratulate me anyways! Goodbye KU! P.S. I hate you and hope you die!
Girls are so complex, they confuse themselves.. Here’s an example. January 29, 2007
I was looking through my old stuff and I found a poem I wrote about 2 years ago I think.. I have more but they’re stupid..
What Do We Believe?
What is the hardest thing in love?
To lose what you had to a rival,
Or to lose what you had to a friend?
What is the hardest thing in war?
To see your best friend being murdered,
Or to see yourself murdering someone’s best friend?
What is the hardest thing in religion?
To question your faith when in doubt,
Or to feel guilt for doubting at all?
What is the hardest thing to hear?
The grieving of someone you tell has lost a friend,
Or the words you hear when you have lost yours?
What is the hardest thing to bear?
Betrayal of the one you love to save yourself,
Or have the one you love betray you?
What will you do next?
Believe in this writing and consider your actions,
Or continue your actions pretending they are what you believe?
Sensei got hurt.. Sauna time for us! OMG I’m so mean. January 28, 2007
Guess what we did at karate last night? Haha my Sensei had a really tough football game the day before (against some British Navy guys.. my sensei’s team won 2-0 hehe) so his right thigh was beaten up pretty bad from being kneed there twice in a row by some dumbassess.. and he needed to chill out a bit in the sauna for a while.. so yeah after he gave us a hell of a training (the mirrors all over the dojo were pretty fogged up by the end of class) he decided to let everyone use the last half hour in the sauna.. of course the men had their own sauna.. unfortunately my little sister and her friend are also with me at karate.. but they were only allowed to stay in the sauna for 5 mins.. but they got so damn annoying and not shutting up i made everyone play the “next person who talks is an ass” game.. but once they left it was quite nice.. luckily i have 2 chicks with me who are my age (Justi – went to school with me.. known her since forever.. and Yaz – knew her since 2000).. was quite a cool experience.. not like i havent been in a sauna before but it was such a random decision by my sensei.. plus it was either half hour in the sauna or half hour doing kata’s in the dojo.. what would you choose? And don’t say the kata’s!
Nowhere on my birth certificate did it say life was gonna be fair… January 28, 2007
Now I’ll get onto complaining about my university (Kuwait University).. well.. since all the english school kids’ grades come out at the end of the summer.. and all the government school kids’ grades come out early in the summer.. all the english school people are registered after the government school people.. but not only at the beginning of the first semester.. no.. EVERY. SINGLE. SEMESTER.. which means that after all the government school kids have booked up all the important courses during registration for the next semester.. the english school kids’ turn is next.. and guess what? There’s nothing to register for! So far I have been enrolled in “philosophy” and “introduction to logic”.. which makes no sense since my major is BIOLOGY! But those were the only courses I could manage to get into.. everything else I’m on the waiting list for.. and that.. I say.. Is very unfair.. so me and my 2 friends from uni decided.. hey! damn this.. let’s study somewhere else.. so after a week of running all over kuwait picking up papers from here getting them stamped there getting them signed there getting them approved here (schools.. british council.. universities.. higher education.. the whole lot).. all three of us managed to apply at ACK ( the australian college of kuwait – well its a univeristy now but they haven’t changed the name yet).. which is a much better place for us english school kids since the atmosphere is much more of what we are used to from high school (english teachers.. english teaching.. english school kids.. and when they say co-ed.. its really co-ed.. unlike KU where they actually have 2 floors in the cafeteria.. one for girls one for guys.. ridiculous).. plus the environment at ack is so much more relaxed.. not caring who you hang with.. what you wear.. etc. unlike in ku.. I mean.. i say if you have the right environment.. then you’ll want to study there.. don’t you agree? Plus the teaching at KU really annoys me.. I mean it’s SUPPOSED to be in english.. but when I walk into the lecture hall all I manage to do is frantically note down any english word the professor butts into his arabic and try looking it up in my textbook when I get back home.. A bit of a hassle don’t you think? Plus.. i hate having to wake up every morning thinking “God.. what am i going to wear today?!”.. and feeling like I’m going onto a runway instead of university.. and the best part is.. ack do all your registration for the semesters for you (ahh sheer bliss).. so no more problems there! I’m applying for a scholarship to Oil and Gas Engineering (big step from Biology eh?).. which I hope I’ll get.. I mean.. when i picked up some paper from KU i read that my GPA moved up to exactly 4.0.. and I passed the ACK entrance exam with flying colours (99% woooot!).. so they have no reason not to accept me.. unless someone has a grudge against me.. so now I’m just waiting until february the 2nd when all the accepted students’ names come out in the newspaper.. and I’m hoping my name will be there flashing back at me.. Welcome to ACK you monkey.. Wish me luck everybody!
My exceptionally wonderful life at this moment.. January 28, 2007
I am now officially the most bored person on the planet.. sitting here at the computer I have absolutely nothing to do.. so I decide “hey! how about I start a blog?!”.. being constantly bugged by my older sister and her husband to read their blogs.. I can say i have been forced into doing this.. well.. where do I begin.. I guess I should start with the regular hoo-haa of who I am.. what I do.. etc etc.. so here goes.. let me start by safely saying I’m quite easy to get along with.. except when I’m in a bad mood.. then make sure you have a rifle at hand just in case i pull a “zaidan 2006 world cup” .. I’m 5′4.. 106 pounds.. and obsessive about karate, ice skating and art. I love doing other stuff you don’t care about but ill mention them some other time.. I guess that’s enough about me.. Well I guess you’re wondering why I have nothing to do.. maybe because the last day of my first semester at uni ended on January the 17th.. and guess when the next semester starts? February the 10th! Yep! Maybe alot of you would thank your stars for such a long holiday if you were me.. but you’re not so haha.. anyways.. what I’ve been doing for the past week and 4 days can be summed up into a tiny list:
Watching the LOST episodes over and over with my Dad and my Auntie Feyme (who travelled a few days ago *tear*)
Knitting this stupid blanket which i know I’ll never finish
Going to karate 4 times a week (finally! something to do!)
Downloading movies online
Going into my sister and her husbands apartment, eating their food and taking their cat (Mouse) down to my bedroom *evil smile
Bugging people on MSN
Yelling at our stupid parrot Einstein who managed to learn the word “ass” in arabic
So as you can see.. my life isn’t so exceptionally wonderful (okay you caught me.. I lied in the title.. big deal.. do you care? I don’t.)..
