I'm moving my updates to a different blog, http://www.farah-faisal.blogspot.com, since it's an easier address to remember and spell. It's been a great ride updating this blog, hope you'll follow me on to the next chapter!

Assalamu'alaikum....

So sorry peeps, lame dah tak update, nyahaha. Been very, very busy. Grad classes are killing me, and with the drama that has been surrounding my work place lately... well let's just say even if you are.. ermm.. mentally challeneged, if you can drive a car or operate heavy machinery, then I can still whoop your ass whenever you start acting like a spoiled, sick little jerk. All the things that are happening around me is enough to give a girl migraines.

Anyway, what prompted me to write today, aside from the fact that I'm stuck at the Baits office a little while longer since it's raining outside, is the fact that last night, I had a really weird dream. It was a bad dream... at least in my opinion. Only one other person aside from Deera (seb baik ko mesej aku, pompuan, thankee thankee :) ) knows about it, nyahaha. Suffice to say, I accidentally fell asleep without washing me feet, dreamt, woke up crying, realized I woke up BEFORE my alarms clock started buzzing and then went to the bathroom to smayang Subuh. After that, I went on a quest to MAKE SURE that everything is the way it's suppposed to be and not warped like the way it was in my dream. So I started poking my nose around places that I really have no business in just to make sure that everything's okay. All of that happened before 10am.... pretty eventful morning.

Ooohh, for the record (not that he's ever gonna read this anyway 'cause he's not the type, nyahaha)... I DO know the girl. After much thinking I realized who it was (well it sorta went like that, LoL, at least Deera knows the full version), and how silly would I sound if I say that I'm more than just a teeny bit jealous..?

Anyway, the morning started out weirdly enough, and the sucky weather prompted everyone to lose their room keys, which means that I spent half of my morning at work making temporary room keys for probably half of the residents at Baits 1. C'mon people, I know you're freshmen but keys don't melt just because it's raining outside. Weather seriously sucked, I was glad to get back home.

Tonight was the premier of Desperate Housewives, Season 2. Woo hoo!! I've been waiting for it for so long... Nik came over for DDR a little bit earlier and promptly left when the show came on TV (there's no accounting for taste... seriously). After the show was over (Bree in a fight with her mother-in-law!! Rex is finally buried!! Susan and Mike are not moving in together... again!! Carlos wants a paternity test!!), Nik, Wann, Nicholas and I went out for dinner at Dinersty 'cause we were freakin' hungry. There, I realized that sometimes, even the most innocent things can sound freakin' dirty when the right people are involved.

So yeah, here I am attempting to study (sorta) and do a paper and remember that tomorrow's Career Fair... oh man, going through the motions of getting an interview is so gonna kill me... me under pressure is not a pretty sight at all. This is the one time where my dry humor and affable smile (cheewah!!) gets me absolutely nowhere... engineers pretty much suck :( .

I gotta go now.. homewroks' -a-calling ... man oh man :( . Till later peeps! Seriously, like much later 'cause this week is gonna be hell. Miss you all muakkss :-* !!

Wassalam

Assalamu'alaikum....

Hmmm.... orientation's done.... met a lot of new people, which is cool :). My student account is finally settled (sorta), I've registered for classes, met with some of my future professors, and things are really beginning to shape up. I have a new job lined up for the semester at Baits, but I'm really going to miss working at Pierpont. Today was my last day, boo hoo.... (seriously, this is sad, I'm not being sarcastic). Merry, Michael and Angela gave me this really, really sweet and wonderful card as a going away present, which I really, really adore :). I'm really going to miss them a lot. It sucks that my position during the fall is going to be a work-study position, or else I would have applied for it in a heartbeat. It's a really great office, I've had a really great experience, no matter how emotional it was, LoL.

So Panda Express is finally open in Pierpont (Panda sells Chinese food.. slightly bland and overpriced for my taste, but hey, it's actually a pretty decent eating place compared to everything else Pierpont has to offer... sorry catering people :)~ ). Noticed quite a few of my friends are working there, LoL. I guess the outfit isn't that bad, even though I split my sides the other day laughing at Salah and Din for their green and yellow Panda t-shirts, respectively. But hey, there are gonna be way richer than I will ever be.

It's gonna be weird going to school as a grad student. The moment that the SI faculty said "Welcome to SI, master's students", my heart skipped a beat. Omigod omigod omigod... I'm doing my master's.... and I'm still in Michigan!! Holy crap! Now that the novelty of it all is wearing off, I have to say... I miss home a lot. I miss my little kiddies and my mom and my dad and my brothers and my sis-in-law and my cuzzy...... I miss the shopping, the food, the ability to walk around in just jeans, flip-flops and a thin cotton top without having to worry if the temperature is going to drop sub zero.... Given a choice, yeah, I'd pick home, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I wanna do my master's now, 'cause I might not get the chance for it later.

This is my second night spending in my room by my lonesome, watching a few DVDs and basically devouring everything in sight. I'm just in my down time, relaxing a bit before all the craziness of school starts. I'm trying to fit dance somewhere in my schedule, which is gonna be tricky because I wanna do well in school and I know there's no room for much dilly-dallying. We'll see how things go, I still might be able to do some of dance. No more ballet though, I think my body never really forgave me for trying to force it to do some really funky shit. No kidding.

I'm feeling strangely relaxed and at peace... and all without the help of weed. I'm a 23-year-old woman living in Michigan, the capital of Hash Bash... and I've never had weed. Yes, I am a dork. So far I haven't had the guts to experiment with pretty much anything. Oh weed, why art thou delude me? (or something like that)

I was watching TV when I realized that I was actually missing someone really badly. Wherever you are, you're always in my thoughts hon :) .

Wassalam....
