I think it's my pig out day...

Not every month, but most of them I notice I pig out a couple days before my break from praying. Well today's fast has been really hard, I started getting hungry around 10 and super thirsty. I also noticed that I was more hungry last night. So if I wasn't fasting I have a feeling I would be shoving everything in site down my throat, lol. Can;t wait for maghrib. FOOODDDDDD lol. onl 2.5mr hrs elhamdolallah

First Day of School

Today was the first day of my second year of school. I had 3 classes today. (I was late for 2 out of the three, one cuz I left late. The other see below.) I don't have my lab tomorrow!! Which is great because I don't have to get up at 630-7 to get there on time. My fist class is Calc. II at ten, fun fun... oops I lied... last semester schedule. First is Physics II, then Calc. II (I didn't fail, last sem. was all I not II lol) Then I have a nice 2 hour break where I will go to the library and hang with all my muslim friends that avoid the union like the plague during ramadan. (Kinda funny actually.) Then back to my last class which is Linear Algebra. So far what I've heard of this class... well let's just say I should run away screaming with my tail between my legs.

OK now to rant:
PARKING!!! I HATE YOU!!! I parked way out back for my first class, managed to find a nice spot for my second, and the third was a HUGE pain in the butt. OK people... I know you're not all rocket scientist, but parking SPOTS are made for a reason!! If they're not there DON"T INVENT ONE!!! I literally was working my way through a one way aisle that is actually 2 way praying someone wouldn't be coming from the other direction. People parked in the aisle, actually invented a whole new row in the middle of an aisle and were parking on the grass... GRRR. When I finally found a spot (after 10-15 min) I couldn't turn into it so i kept backin up (with the little space I had to opperate my car in) and ended up hitting the truck next to me. So I backed all the way up (hoping I wouldn't hit anything) and finally managed to pull in. I get out to look at my car, I have a nice long dent in the passenger backseat side, but I don't care, my car is old so... The truck of course didn't have any damage lol. So I didn't bother leaving a note or anything. (don't report me to the police!!! lol) Hopefully tomorrow will be a little more less crazy. It's always like this the first week or so, but I hate it!

Fasting

The first day is done, and I'm onto the second day! I don't remember it being this easy last yr. Last yr I fasted even though I wasn't muslim yet, I was starving by the end of the first day. This time I was hungry, but not like I remember from last yr. The only problem I had was that I had a horrible headache. I don't really have any muslims around me, I'd have to drive like 15 min at least to find one, so I didn't eat with a muslims family, but I did eat with my aunts family. :) I told them I got married too and they didn't kick me out of the house (they're the ones who have been giving me the most problems about my conversion.) My cousin actually congratulated me :) I know they're not happy though.

FAFSA I hate you!!!

For anyone from a different country, FAFSA is an application for student aid. The gov't can give you a loan/free money depending on your financial status all for college. Well, now that I'm married, my financial status has obviously changed... It turns out after you file your first application you cannot change your marriage status. Which means I get no aid from the gov't. I have enough money for next sem., but that means I will not see my husband for about a yr cuz no money for plane ticket. IsA, it will all work out.

I Love Arabs P's and B's

Haha. I was letting my husband look online for something last night. He was looking up something on an Islamic site. I told him about Sunni path after he was done checking the sites that he trusted. He went to the google search bar and typed in "Sunni bath" O started laughing and he was like "What??" When the search finally came up he was like "O, oops." I was like, "Yup, we're all going to get together and have one big Sunni bath." lol

On another occasion when I was talking to him about getting to the airport to go to Egypt. He told me "take a cap." I was like "WTF?!?! Is there something that I don't know about that's called cap??" Then I realized he mean cab and laughed my head off. Just picture yourself with 2 huge bags getting into a baseball cap and going to the airport... HILARIOUS.

Some Good News

The hubby took me out last night and I bought 3 abayas. :D I got a jean one which is in style over here (it will be good or winter where I live, MUCH too hot here lol.) I got a black one with a silver/white lining on the front. And a black one with a strip of different colors of pink on the back. They will be ready for pick up tonight and I want to buy at least couple more :)

Never Get Black Henna

Three weeks after it, I still have a red thing where te tatoo was. Then yesterday, I was really itchy and i looked at a product and found it contained benzocaine. So I hopped online to the site that warns you of oher medications you can have a reaction to and guess what was on it! Benzocaine! So now I'm freaking out about what other kinda crap I have to watch out for because of this stupid black henna. I'm so pissed because my friend told me it was safe, and doesn't realize how bad the reaction is (I haven' seen her yet since then.) I'm also freaking ot because with a bad raction you can get random welts after time and I have to strange dots on my arm... I really hope they're just mosquitoes bites, isA.

hahaaaahaaaa Dream.

I don't know what's wrong with me but I had a dream that I was forced to go back to high school for a year because they found out my class didn't do something right in hours o something. I was so annoyed because I had to repeat my senior year when I had already completed my first yr of college. My school also does this thing where you can be a part time college student and take 3 or 6 credit hours for free. So I got so annoyed being back with all the drama and crap in high school that I was finally like "Ugh, I have college to go to, I had enough credit before this mistake happened so screw this. I'm getting out of here."

I don't remember if this was this dream or another one. I kept forgetting to put on my hijab. Then when I realized it I was like :S :S. I was wondering if any of you ever dream about forgetting to put on you hijab? It's not the first dream I've had. I was also wondering if any of you have accidentally went out without it when you first started wearing it full time?

The Bad Dreams Have Started Already!!

College. I already had my first dream about this upcoming semester!

I was tired one day so I slept a little later only to wake and found out I had slept through one class that I forgot about. I had also missed the first day of that week since I though we didn't have college because of a holiday and I just skipped the next day. Then I get to college go to two classes, and then go home. Only too get home and remember I have another class that day.

What's weird is that I had my old professor from last semester in the dream but I was dreaming the names and times of this semester!!

I think my school injected me with something before I left so I wouldn't forget them, or my classes. lol

Itch, Itch, Scratch, Scratch. AHHHHH

My friend got married a couple weeks ago. I attended her henna party. Well I got two hennas done. Except it wasn't real henna. Whatever that crap was gave me a rash right were it was. It itches like hell and when I itch it, it burns. I want to know what kinda crap was in that. I've never had an allergy before to anythinnnggg. All I know is that it was black, and took forever to dry. Then it didn't fall off like henna, you had to wash it off. Anyone know??? Even better- anyone know a cure?????

I've got some news :)

Well I got married! Yippy. As one as my favoirte blogs, I'm going to steal her blogs name in this post "I married a Masri." He will from now on be called "hubby" or something along that line. No name, sorry.

We're staying at his families (NEW) flat right now and the water went out ERRRRRR!!! I tried to make pancakes since he said he's never had them and I couldn't find ANYTHING I needed in the kitchen so I gave up until he comes home from juma. He won't be happy since I told him I'd have food for him when he comes :(. So I'll end up making eggs or something and wait to make those until he can help me find stuff.

A Quick Update

I'm still in Egypt :)

Things I Miss

I miss the cool weather, the thunderstorms. I love the bad storms we get in the summer. We only get a few but I love the thunder and lighting. My family. Seeing birds other than pigeons. NOT being in a city. I hate the city!!! Too noisy, crowded, dirty. Not having to worry about the water I drink.

Things I Appreciate

Seeing crops grow. I know this sounds stupid. But I live in an area where there are a lot of farmers. Even when I went to college, the daily commute, I still saw fields along the highway. Now I only see them when traveling to and from Cairo. I see their beauty and just think mashallah. I know I'm weird.

Things I Love

The people. They're soooo nice. You can't find this many people in America that are so nice. I love seeing so many girls that cover themselves. The cost of most stuff ;) hehe. I got like 4 or 5 hijabs for like $10!! I was like YIPPPPY!!! you can't buy them in the store though. You have to get them from a seller on the street. I want to buy some abayas still and more veils. There's very little humidity, but then that kinda goes with no rain :(

I have some more news but I will post from my own comp ;)This is not mine. it's good news :)

Don't know what to say

Well I've been in Egypt for over a week now. I still find it really hot. I moved to my fiances family's flat yesterday and am enjoying myself.

So far I have seen the pyramids, the zoo, the Egyptian national museum, and Muhammad Ail Palace (might not have that last one right.) The most commen thing I hear here is "Eat (insert my name) eat!" I would also like to add the the driving over here is crazy. I would love to give it a try though *evil grin*

I was looking outside to night and saw a white owl. I was like :O they have owls?? I thought owls only lived in cool places... but maybe that's because I associate them with pine trees and tree like we have at home. I am totally craving popcorn right now. I miss it. I used to eat it every-single-night. I haven't had it since I've gotten here. :'( lol.

I broke my glasses and I hope I get them back from the person who is fixing them soon. Wearing contacts so much drives me up a wall. My camera also broke that same day as my glasses. My fiance dropped it. Luckily I can still take pics and stuff, the lens just doesn't close right.

For the Aussies. We don't know much about you but we really do love you.

I found this while stumbling. http://www.satirewire.com/news/jan02/australia.shtml I hope you read it and have a laugh and I hope no one takes it personally. It's not intended to be that way.

I had a great night :)

Last night I went out with my fiance. Hehe, first time we finally got to hang out. We went to a cafe to watch the Egypt vs. USA game. I was saying that I was going to root for Egypt but I ended up not rooting for either and just watching. I was happy the US won though. Really it's a win-win situation. lol You have to love those.

But before I went out I lost my friends cell phone I'm borrowing, it had a ton of contacts and stuff in it :( so I feel bad about that. Then I got home and was told off for being out so late... it was only 12. I mean...... kinda late but not really. I have to adapt to their "late" for girls here. I'm used to late being 4 or 5 am for both genders. (not that I've ever stayed out that late.)

I am supposed to meet up with my other friend on Friday and I can't wait to meet her and her baby and hubby finally. :)
