Salam All!
Well for the last few posts I’ve maintained a pretty serious demeanor and I think one or two of such posts are enough for anyone, for a while. Plus, my last post literally took a lot out of me emotionally, the reason for why I haven’t posted in a few days. But, that’s all behind us now, no?
Anyway this post will be lighter in nature as it will be my last post for a while, possibly a long while. No, I haven’t decided to quite this blogging business, so don’t worry…if in fact you were worried!
So the reason for a sabbatical?
I’m going away for about two months. This is really quite exciting, as I will be going to Morocco! Woot woot! I haven’t been there in three years, which, ok, considering isn’t a “very” long time but it’s still long enough for me. Especially if it will be my last visit there for a while, since I will be starting uni soon, insha’Allah.
Hopefully when I’m there I may be able to update occasionally, you know, if I find a net café with computers faster then a snail. Well, one can hope anyway!
So I have two weeks left before I go, and let me tell you, I’m kind of stressed out. I have to get done my math course, pack, run errands and work. Ok, so this doesn’t sound like a lot but it really is, especially when I have still two weeks left of math and quizzes.
But I have already started organizing my stuff. Sorry, I mean, I have already started going through my book shelf and choosing the books I want to take, and that’s about it. Hey, my books are an important part of life; I need my babies with me. Anyway, so after going through all of my books I set aside 20 that I am going to take. I have seriously selected a bag that will be especially used to store them in. They will have no choice but to come with me on the airplane, who knows what will happen if I don’t keep my eyes on them? They might accidentally get dog eared! GASP! I just can’t let that happen to any of them, they all look so pretty and still brand new.
Ok, so I have a little thing for my books and their condition…sue me.
I am also supposed to be studying whilst over there because I have a diploma to write when I come back. STUDY!!! While on vacation? What’s this world seriously coming to? Oh well, I am determined to get a good mark, so sacrifices must be made. Slacking, sadly, is not an option. But it’s all good, remember… I have my books.
As for clothes, what to pack? What to pack? I tend to leave a lot of my clothes behind for my cousins. Hey, they need them more then I do, after all. So I have one suit case dedicated to “my” clothes and one for the clothes I have specifically chosen to give away.
It’s no joke; let me tell you, to have over eighty cousins. I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, so what does one buy for eighty people?
Answer:
Chocolate! Seriously, who in their right mind can say no to “oh-so-good” chocolate? WHO? Exactly, and if you do, I’m sorry to hear that. But my little cousins, they love the stuff…what smart children! Plus, chocolates are awesome for bribing, or convincing a depressed girl cousin to spill the beans. Just pretend I didn’t say that.
Now, on what else I did in means of packing. Well, I did buy all my toiletries…doesn’t that count? And who decided that toiletries should be so damn expensive? Honestly, I am a big believer of being all clean and smelling nice, et cetera but holy crap, which stuff adds up! Maybe it’s easier to just stick to a bar of soap and a jar of Vaseline?
Oh! And this time, I will not forget my digital camera behind. I always tend to do that, or I bring one of those “regular” cameras where you ACTUALLY have to put film in them. What’s that about? Anyway, I’m no good with those because I always some how tend to “expose” the darn film to the sun or something, and BAM no more pretty pictures to remind me of good times. So my lil friend “Mr. Digi” and I will not leave each others sides, this time PICTURES will be taken or so help me God!
Ok. I think I’ve gone over all of what I’m packing and such. Let’s just do a check list shall we?
A List Of Important Things That Can’t and Will Not Be Forgotten:
Books: Check…check…checkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Bags to put books in so that they don’t dog ear: Check (Major check actually)
Toiletries that cost too much, and therefore actually leave a little pain in my heart: Yuppers
Pretty Flower Suitcases: checkkkk
Clothes: Um, they’re there I just have to sort through them
Ok, so basically I’m set! Good stuff.
And now I’m going to go, because I have plenty to do.
Till Next time:
Take care
