It's a Wonderful Life

So the result for my Arabic course is out :) Now I can talk about all of my results~ Wee~ Act Sci 300 The challenge : I really want an A for this course, because my seniors said that this course is an easy A. But I did miss two classes, didn't send two homeworks, and didn't do one quiz. Of course I was worried if I didn't get an A. And the result is... : But thank God, I did get an A for this one-credit course :) Arabic Language The challenge : I came back to Madison like two-three weeks late, so I missed a lot of classes (this course is every day!). The limit of absents is five, and I know I didn't come to class more than that. I worried that my absents will bring down my grade. What I did : My knowledge of Arabic language during high schools truly helped me a lot. Plus, I was very lucky that my instructor is not so strict, and he is very friendly. During my oral test, I told him about my current situation with my sponsor, and he said "I hope you will d...

"So remember to always have patience in whatever situation you may be in and remember to always turn to Allah in prayer" :)

I already received 3 final results, and there is still another one, which is Arab, that I need to wait for. I'm not really sure when will it come out, but I'll wait~ When I received the result, I will post it here :) I am not going anywhere during this winter break, just like latest time. Well I prefer to stay home anyway, unless I have a lot of cash to burn. Right now, my family, with my mom's sister's family, are going to Singapore, celebrating my mom's and my sister's birthday. Hopefully they all will have a lot of fun there! Somehow, I really wish that winter break will end as soon as possible. Yes, just for a selfish reason. Other than that, maybe because my Fall 2010 semester wasn't that tiring, and it was a semester that I truly enjoyed. Right now, I really want the 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors game, but it is sold out on everywhere I looked. Even on eBay, the price is totally ridiculous (50% more than the original price, what the hell?). Right now...

My last exam, Arabic, will be on this Tuesday morning. I know I can score in the test, but I'm really worried if I won't get an A. Hopefully, with Allah's help, I can get A for this course. I really wish that I can get 3.00 and above :) The last exam I took is Macroeconomic, and that was on Friday evening. There are a lot of time before my next exam, and I spent my time...playing games! I play Call of Duty Black Ops (online multiplayer) most of the time, because it is easy to pick up, and has this "just one more!" effect. Usually I play with Adam, Shafiq, Zainal or Naqib. When I take a look at my games, there are a lot of unfinished games, and they are: Vanquish - only halfway through Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - haven't past the intro Heavy Rain - haven't tried the playing it with Move Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep - yet to beat the hardest boss Dead Rising 2 - just finished once (still a lot to do) Well that's what winter break for! ...

Ideas usually come during midnight, or is it? At least it is kinda true in my case. How about you guys? Anyway, this night, suddenly I feel like talking about my studies here. Not exactly about my exams, it's more about why am I here, in the US right now. Until my SPM year, all I did was following what was set for me. Like for example, I went for boarding school because of my parents, I applied for scholarship because that's what my teachers recommended, and more. At one point, I did question all this. Like, where is my own path? Is this really the path that I want to take? I did talk about this in one of my post, but I'm too lazy to search for it haha. I don't know why I was so rebellious. Maybe that person's ideas and thoughts were very contagious to me. But anyway, now that I think about it, even if my path right now is not the one I choose, there are still a lot of time for me ahead, even after graduating. I can imagine, that someday after I graduate in UW...

and it's going to your favor

A few things happened to me around this one month before the exams. The three main things are my inability to sleep at night, my always hurting stomach, and my broken heart. "Maybe because you sleep at evening?" No, I don't think that's the case here. There are times where I slept directly after Isha' but it's not that frequent. But I think it's alright as long as I don't miss my prayers (especially Subo) and don't miss my classes. Maybe, just maybe, as a last result, I will start to take sleeping pills only for this week, so that I can sleep well, preparing for my exams. "Did you eat something funny?" No, and I'm sure of it. I only eat what my housemates eat, and sometimes eat at restaurant with my friends too. I didn't eat a lot too. Maybe it was due to my wrong timing of eating. Since a lot had happened, I lost my appetite to eat. Sometimes I eat only once a day, sometimes I didn't at all. It's not like I don'...
