Rainy Day..

You really can't predict the weather these days. One minute you're all sunny smiley and the next thing you know, the rain is already pouring all over you.

I can associate a lot of events in my life when it comes to the rain. It can be sad or happy. But I don't really regret those things that happened to me in the past. As I always say, 'if I continue dwelling on the past, what future would I look forward to?' Whatever bad experiences or good experiences happened, I just have to accept it and become better in the future.

I love making memoirs. Doing this blog is one form of my expression so I guess I can do whatever I want to do here. I'm not much of a violator so no one would need to worry about that. I'm simply babbling about the outcomes of my life and the plans I have for my future.

Here goes...

The pitter patter of the rain on my window always reminds me of my old home in Saudi Arabia. That's where I grew up. I'd always remember the days when the cold weather would continue, while we feel toasted inside our classrooms. The rain would only come once in every year, so there wasn't much to expect from it. But I still feel blessed whenever I remember those days. The rain doesn't literally signify the once in a year rain is Saudi Arabia. Often, I associate it with my school life. The trials me and my friends were able to overcome and the exams that we had to take. Looking back to what I was able to accomplish, I feel blessed that I'm here right now. That I was able to survive the adjustment for college and that I'm still me. My former classmates are faraway from me now, and none of them really bothers to contact me anyway, but it seems like it doesn't matter to me anymore. As long as I'm contented with the life I have, I'm happy.

On current and more cheerful events, I'm glad that I somehow get great results for my daily storms, the summer classes. It really feels odd to be in school during the summer holidays. At least I'm three subjects lesser now. It'll only take two more years and I'll be able to walk down the aisle of graduation and say hello to the real grown up world. Actually, I'm not so sure if I'm looking forward to it but I am looking forward to being able to earn on my own and buy things that I desire to buy.

Well, it's only 1:22 (according the clock in my PC) in the afternoon. I don't have class for the rest of the day that's why I'm at home. The rain has just seized for today's dose. Anyway, God Bless..

What I did today..


Although being kind is something good, I should really try to learn on how I'd control it. Luckily, my favorite professor taught me about that, indirectly. There was a need for documentation in our class and the only thing we used for recording the class events was my camera phone. It's quite difficult. I have to transfer the videos taken and place it in my computer day by day. Although the demonstrations weren't that long, still, i find it tiring to keep on doing the same routine day by day. Today though, I wasn't able to re-charge my phone and I wasn't able to transfer the previous videos as well. I nearly freaked out when I remembered that we needed to document today's activity. I informed my teacher that my phone was in no condition to record today, and gladly, she didn't complain about it. It wasn't my sole responsibility to bring a camera phone to class. It was the responsibility of every presenter, not mine. I somehow felt relieved about it. Aside from those stuff, I'm proud to say that I wasn't late for today's class! Hurray for me! I got there before the professor did and I was able to rest a bit before the class finally began. I passed a paper about how important the overpopulation of dogs were in America and then I assisted my professor with the encoding. I'm proud to say that the lowest I got for my grades during the midterms for this summer is 98%! (Cool!) I really can't believe it! All in all, I got 98.60% for this term. Tomorrow will be our pretest for Science, the same subject where I arrive late every morning. The pretest tomorrow will determine whether I will be exempted from taking the final exams. Neat huh? Speaking of dogs, since I mentioned it earlier, I saw a really cute Maltese puppy this afternoon. It was really cute! It was so white and so tiny. I didn't know whether I found the puppy or the owner cute, though? He was cute. (And they're both wearing white. White fur. White polo shirt). My friend told me I was making pa-cute but I was just really interested with the puppy. I love animals after all. (Come to think of it, the owner is one of the samples of the highest forms of animals, humans. Woah! What an excuse!)

How my day went...

I woke up really late today and considering I have a summer class for science that starts at 8 am, it was really downright embarrassing when I entered the class. My professor was a very nice woman so she let me go without further adieu. At least I made up for being late by reciting really well in class. I'm not really a morning person but I have a certain liking for science and speaking.

The next class was equally embarrassing. I was late, again, because my friend and I came from the cafeteria. We both didn't eat breakfast so we decided to munch on something first before heading to class. I had a burger and a cold Milo while she opted for a plate of macaroni and iced tea. Fortunately, the next class that I was late in entering was fine as well, since I've already finished my report a day before. It really pays off when you study.

Anyway, my best friend was absent for half of the day because she was having stomach cramps and couldn't go to school. She came in the afternoon for her demo teaching though. During the spare time that I had before my last class, I stayed with some of my friends. We talked, sung, put on make-up and did other stuff as well. I resumed to my sketching after about an hour of doing other stuff. It was fun hanging around with them.


The last class has always been my favorite for this summer. It's not because I don't have anymore classes at night but because I really like our teacher there. She's a lot of fun to be with. She strikes jokes and talks with us the way cool moms are. And it's really something that I enjoy right now since both my parents are away. I find it amusing that she treats all of us like her own children. I guess that's why she gets really disappointed when one of us doesn't do his or her job. That's why I always try my best whenever I do something in her class. It's quite difficult but I guess impossible things become possible when you strive really hard to succeed in doing it.
