Today is Eid. Eid to Muslims is like Christmas to Christians. I have to wake up at 7:00 in the morning and go to the masjid. After the Eid prayer which takes places at 8:30 a.m, everyone in my family will come to my house and eat lunch. All my relatives came this year to our house in Ohio. Lunch will take place around 12:00 in the afternoon. Then everyone will relax and just have fun. At around 8:00 in the evening, everyone will go back to the masjid for dinner. The food will be catered. It should be a fun day, but tiring. It is already 1:00 a.m and I am really tired. The worst thing about everything is that school is on monday. I have so much work I still have to do.
As my title says, everything is going wrong. I keep forgetting important things at places where I can’t even get to them. I have so much homework, and I have not started any of it. I have 2 major exams coming up, and I don’t have my books with me. It’s one of those weeks where nothing is going right. I feel like everything I do is not right. I don’t even feel like writing in here. I just want to write as many sentences as I can and just leave. I need to do so many things, and I have so little time. I wish there were more hours in a day. Why do we even need sleep? Why can’t we just function without it? Oh man, I need to just relax and calm down. Think of a new strategy. Oh well finally I’m done.
I just wrote a really long blog, and then everything got deleted somehow. Now I have to right everything over again. Well after my class at 11:30, I am officially on fall break. I thought I would be going to visit my parents tomorrow, but instead they are coming here. Chicago is basically my family’s second home. Before I moved here, we use to come here once a month. I wish we could’ve traveled to different places also, but we do have a lot of family over here. I have to admit that I was very fortunate to be traveling a lot to Chicago. My dad once told me that he had a patient who never left her hometown. The furthest she traveled was within a 25 mile radius. She lived to be 100 years old. That is pretty crazy I have to admit. I felt kind of bad for her, and wished I could’ve tooken her out of the state. However, I think she would prolly think I’m some serial killer because she didn’t even know me. In general, people should be happy with what they have and what they do. Be thankful for everything and thank God. To tell you the truth, I feel bad for people who don’t believe in God. I wonder what those people think they are living for. Oh well, people are just confused more then ever now a days. Like my teacher said, “The United States teaches you to be dumb.” I don’t know if that makes any sense, but that’s what’s so good about these blogs. There basically just for fun.
Today I thought would be a great time to tell a little bit about my religion, and the holy month that we are currently in. For those who don’t know, I am a Muslim, and the holy month we are in is called Ramadan. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from when the sun rises to sunset. The point of it is to remind us of how lucky we are to eat. People around the world starve day in an day out. At the end of Ramadan we have a celebration called Eid. You can say Eid is equivalent to Christmas. During Eid, Muslims go to one anothers house and enjoy the company and food of each others. We also give gifts to the younger ones. For those who don’t know, in Islam we follow one God. If you have ever heard the name Allah, that is the arabic name for God. The main difference between Islam and Christianity is that we believe that Jesus is only a prophet and not the son of God. Also we believe in Muhammed who is the last prophet. Another difference is that we pray 5 times a day. If you would like to know more about Islam, come to the masjid on the second floor of Mundelein.
Well again this week I have to write in this blog. I kind of like typing what I am thinking, just because I can type fast. Other then that I don’t really want to do this blog, but it it could be worse. So I wonder where our teacher went because he isn’t going to be in class today. I am kind of excited to watch the movie today. I love movies. I’ll just about what anything. However, recently I have been gettin more selective with what I watch. Movies aren’t becomin that appealing like they once use to. I don’t even know what movies are coming out now. I use to know everything about movies. I use to know how much they made, what movie jsut came out, and what movie was number one. In the summer I went to a movie about 2 times a week. Oh well, now I have no time for movies. I wish break would hurry up and come. Well that is my blog for today. Have fun and enjoy. It’s beautiful outside. Happy Ramadan.
Well this really sucks. I was almost done writing my blog for today, and then something happened and I have to write everything again. Atleast I only have to write a little bit. Well what can I say about today. Today was okay. I’m glad the weather was nice and that it didn’t rain so far. Last night I was drenched in water beacause of the rain. I love the feeling when your all wet, and then you change your clothes. If feels kind of nice. Anyways in writing class today I had a question I wanted to ask the teacher, but I felt kind of weird asking. I know he is going to read this, so I was just wondering why do you have a beard? I mean I know that there is no problem with one, but it’s just that I barely see any white people have a beard. You can say that is more of a colored thing. Oh well I’m not trying to start some controvery or anything, I’m just curious. Well that is by blog for today. Have a great one. Bye.
I hate school with a passion. I hate everything about school, especially all the work they make you do. I hate having to go to all these different websites to acces homework. I hate how it is all on your own to do everything you have to do. I hate how easily it is to forget if you have homework due or not. I hate everything about school. School frustrates me and gives me a headache. I wish there was a quicker way for everything to be over with sometimes. I just wish that everything to do with school was much easier.
