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.......

I miss Sharron Wenzel. She's this really nice lady who works in the North Campus International Center who has been nothing but kind to me. I adore her to bits. Sharron had her operation on Monday and she's right now recuperating until mid-September. I miss her a lot, it's not the same walking past the IC and not seeing her at her desk. You'll always be in my prayers, Sharron.

Anyway, school hasn't started yet and my schedule is already getting crazy, LoL. I have mandatory orientation next Wednesday and Thursday, but I also work in Pierpont both days. To top it off, Baits move-in is on Monday and Wednesday, which means I have to show up at my new job at Baits, which is gonna be tricky 'cause I'll be at Pierpont during the move-in hours. Nyahaha... what to do, what to do. So I hafta sit down and really think about how I'm gonna maneuver around schedules that seem to be un-maneuverable.

I guess my plan of going somewhere else at the beginning of September is gonna have to be put on hold, since I don't even have classes lined up yet. I'm excited about starting school. It should be exciting. I figured, I have my whole life to go into the work force, but I only have this chance to go back to school on a near-clear conscience and extremely reduced tuition fee, Lol. Better make the best of my chance.

Yesterday Wann, Nick, Azwan, Fer and Nik came over to my house for a few round of DDR. So glad Kristen (girl who lives underneath my apartment) isn't home yet, 'cause we were really abusing my floor and coincidentally, her roof. Earlier that evening Wann, Nick, Nik and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. Of course we had the wings at (somewhat) greatly reduced prices, LoL. That's the only reason why I would show up there on Tuesdays. I'm getting into the habit of asking Nik to buy stuff for me, not 'cause I really need them but just to see the "is-she-kidding-me-I'm-broke-so-hell-no" expression on his face. Nyahaha. Klakar dowh. Dah masuk scholar nanti belanje noh..... Tuptim ke.. Red Lobster. LoL.

Today is kinda hectic at work. Can't wait to go home and get some shut eye. I almost missed work this morning. Thank goodness I got here on time (somewhat) ... or at all. It's a little hard when you wanna have it all: work, social life, school, your sanity ..... Especially when in the summer you're supposed to be enjoying things. But it'll be worth it. I'll have spending money for my car and cell phone (maybe even a little bowling), at least I get to see my friends more than I have all year, and going to school means that further along the road, my paycheck is gonna get bigger LoL.

I do want it all. And I'm determined to have it all. Even if it means less sleep more coffee.

Assalamu'alaikum.........

Nyahahaha.... I'M BACK BITCHES!!!!!!! Hahaha... just kidding. But I'm back to updating my blogger (sorta) regularly right now. Nyahahah. And again. Nyahahahaha. Did you guys missed me? Betcha you did, LoL. And here I am back again to dish out my crazy thoughts and rantings.

Thank you thank you thank you to Fer for helping me with the blogger bug. Thankee thankee thankee :) . Yay!

Some things have been going kinda well (yay!) and some haven't (bummer ...). I'm excited that I'm still here to continue grad school (yay!) but Rackham still hasn't admitted me into the school yet (bummer...). Which means I'm not officially a student yet (bummer....) but a lot of people are working with me so that I CAN start school in the fall (yay!). I'm excited. Grad school should be interesting, to say the least.

I wish I can relay EVERYTHING that has happened, but there's just too much stuff goin' on. Lol. My days are pretty predictable these couple of weeks. Get up, go to work, come back from work, lunch, DDR (or gym, or just walk around on Central), lepaks, then it was off to Fer's and Azwan's for singing or poker.

I can actually play poker now. Yay! I told my mom. She laughed but she told me don't start gambling, it always starts out small and then yada yada yada yada... I pretty much tuned her out after she said "don't". I told her I've been away from her for 5 years in high school, and another 4 years halfway across the world from KL, and yet I'm still pretty much the same girl that she raised before I came to the US. I don't drink, I'm not a ho, I'm not doing drugs, I've never even SEEN weed. I told her that unless my Plans From Above says differently, I am not planning any major changes in my personality anytime soon :) . She couldn't argue with that logis, LoL. I love my mom :) .

Oh, and while we're still on the subject of ho's........ I'm just gonna put this on the table and hopefully not offend anyone even though I was pretty offended myself. I'm really proud of my sorority. I learned a lot. I had study partners because of my sorority and I had friends from all around the country who are very dear to me. Most of all, I had sisters. These are the people that I care about. So DO NOT use the word "sorority bimbos" around me. Ever. And I mean this in the most serious way possible. If you're not a girl, you don't even have the right to even UTTER the word "bimbo" in my presence. Deragatory words can only be used playfully if the trust factor is there between all parties involved. Even then, we shouldn't take it lightly 'cause it can hurt. So please, please PLEASE don't diss sororities around me, especially since you know I was in one. Not all of us fit the stereotype.

Phi Rho love :) .

Okay, I gotta get back to work. Thank you again Fer for fixing my layout for me, you're the best :)!

Wassalam....
