i think i deserve a break now
is that too much to ask?

got a break from school
but not from my family, no
no break

sister: “so we’re still up for niagara falls tomorrow right?”
me: “WHAT?”
everyone else: “yeah, of course.”
me: “WHAT?”
bro-in-law: “you know, niagara falls…”
me: “WHAT?”
mother: “remember the plan to go to niagara falls tomorrow morning?”
me: “WHAT?”
father: “oh yeah, as usual, we forgot to tell you till the very last moment, we’re going to niagara falls tomorrow morning.”
me: “WHAT?”
brother: “ok, i’m cool with it.”
mother: “therefore, nomes is also cool with it.”
me: “WHAT?”

why is it that my parents tell me three minutes before we actually go out that we’re supposed to go out? i would appreciate knowing details of where/why/when at least two days in advance so that i can prepare myself, not three minutes before we go:
parents: “okay, we’re going to your aunt’s place.”
me: “i have a project”
parents: “forget your project, we have to go to your aunt’s.”
me: “why wasn’t i told two days ago (considering you got the invitation well over a week ago)?”
parents: “fine, whatever, we’ll tell you the next time, now let’s go”

the next time, (three minutes before going):
parents: “okay, we’re going to someone’s place…”

blah
so i ended up going to watch a beautiful mind
not bad a movie…

and then we went to some jerusalem restaurant
not bad food…

i’m still operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep from the morning
that compounded with the lack of sleep from previous nights
is making me very exhausted

5:10 am: status – no sleep, yet… almost done preparing for world religions exam
6:10 am: status – nodded off for ten minutes … almost done preparing for world religions exam … praying fajr
7:10 am: status – no sleep since nodding off for ten minutes … almost done preparing for world religions exam
7:30 am: status – no sleep since nodding off for ten minutes … finally done preparing for world religions exam … can’t make effort to go to bed … it’s been taken over anyway (don’t ask) … fall asleep on couch
10:00 am: status – two and a half hours of sleep … wake up … quickly get ready …
10:20 am: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … off to school …
10:30 am: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … find friends in library who are doing last minute notes for the world religions exam (we’re allowed a cheat sheet) … they end up copying off me a lot …
11:25 am: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … they’re still copying stuff off my cheet sheat … exam starts in five minutes … they’re done, we run
11:29 am: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … exam starting in one minute, we feel terribly thirsty and our throats are dry (because of the useless running) … we ask if we can get a drink, teacher allows, we run to get a drink
11:31 am: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … we get back to exam room … sit down and start writing exam … all the muscles in my body are aching, they need rest, and then i RAN on top of that … how moronic
1:00 pm: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … world religions teacher is a nice guy, he gives us ten extra minutes…

1:50 pm: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … get home … eat a lot of white chocolate … sit around doing absolutely nothing — something i’m good at
2:00 pm: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … decide to indulge myself in flossing…
2:15 pm: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … done flossing, very spiritually liberating and my teeth haven’t ever felt better…
2:30 pm: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … decide to take a shower…

3:00 pm: status – operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep … my mom wants to take me to go see a beautiful mind… i don’t want to go, but we’ll see…
3:10 pm:

flossing is a spiritually liberating experience

my new favourite song:

you don’t know how you met me, you don’t know why
you cant turn around and say good-bye
all you know is when i’m with you i make you free
and swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
i’m singin’

– uncle kracker

i just screwed myself over
permanently

i wonder why i even bother try to carry out intelligent discussions, knowing i can never compare to the person opposite me because
let’s face it
i’m sure not intelligent
and especially even more moronic
if i just woke up

:looksaround:

please excuse me as i shall be repeatedly running into a wall for the next fifteen days

well my physics exam is done and done
it went rather unexpectedly well (i figure i passed, alhamdulillah — praise God)

now all that remains is a world religions thing tomorrow
basically i go in there and write an essay
(i do all the research now… supposedly)

:looksaround:

:sighs:

ah well

another nice song:

open up your heart to me
and say what’s on your mind, oh yes
i know that we have been through so much pain
but i still need you in my life this time, and…

– backstreet boys

i have a physics exam, that i’m still studying for
becuz i got home and i just took a long, long nap

i’ve decided to post a lot of the poetry i’ve (all of a sudden) composed in the past few weeks
i never was a poet, but things do things to people…

My first glimpse is forgiven,
But who can blame me for taking so long,
Lost in your eyes,
Lost in this song.
– original

A moment with her is worth an eternity —
Yet an eternity with her would last but a moment.
The sky seems to have left with her,
The sun and moon seem to have lost their paths.
Oh, but another look at her radiant face
Would be worth all the eyes on earth —
Yet would all the eyes on the planet
Be able to take in such splendour?
– original

i’ll probably end up making a poetry page once my exams are over

:sigh:
