10 days to go

I have a lot to say, i was already typing away..but then i realised, i'm in no position to complain. Whatever i'm going through is nothing compared to the battles and fear my brothers and sisters in Syria are undergoing. May Allah save them and do them justice in this world and in the hereafter. Aamiiin.

Friends ARE needed

Yeah..friends..you need them. Today i got a really good reminder from one friend..who said 'Whatever you do (in revising) just pray that Allah blesses the knowlegde'. That sank deep into me. Cos without Allah's blessing, there's no meaning to life and to all that we do in this world. Jazak Allah Khair..

Writing it here, so that iA more people can benefit from this reminder. Writing it on FB would be more effective really, but since i've deactivated, blogger will have to suffice. Maybe sometime, someday, someone else will benefit from this reminder too.

Different forms of bad news

There are so many ways of receiving bad news these days. News about failing an exam or a whole course comes in the form of an exam result slip. And if we're thrown out of the course or the university, that slip may also be accompanied or followed by a letter of 'termination'. Letters of termination by itself is another form of bad news. Then there's all the smses, emails, phone calls, fb statues and even blogs to give you bad news. The worse thing is sometimes they're so sudden, you're not ready to accept them. Just one sms, one call or one knock on the door, can bring so much sadness and despair.

Just reflecting..

Should I bring life to this blog once again?

Today is Monday

And it's my first day of exam. This week is going to be one mentally challenging week. I still have things to prepare for but i cant make myself look at any more notes. Why?

and surprisingly enough, i feel as if today is just another day of my life. It's like there's nothing unusual happening today, just a routine day. Am I normal?

When i slept last night, i wasn't even thinking of my exams (nor did i do any revision the whole of last night). I was just lying in my bed thinking of other stuff. I dont think i've ever been like this before an exam. I feel emotionless. I am not scared of nervous, nor am i confident or happy. i feel nothing at all.

Weird.

I'm a 1st year undergrad

For years i have wondered how it'll be to study overseas. Since I am teh type of person who takes each day as it comes, I didn't exactly spend my days and nights imagining life in the UK, i just enjoyed the moment wherever I was, let it be matriks or maktab. But in the two years that I spent in IPIP, I did work to get myself a 'ticket' to Warwick. And here I am now, a 1st year undergraduate University student.

My first year just passed through like lightning, but this time, I didn't exactly waste my time (at least not all of it) as i can truthfully say, I have lived my first year in warwick to the fullest. However, a crucial time has approached- exams. The system in Warwick is different from what I am accustomed to, and now i just wonder how will i feel when I'm writing down the answers to the exam questions. Will i be able to answer them? Will I be calm? How similar or different will it be from my past experiences of sitting for exams? I set off to Warwick with a mission, and my mission wasn't solely to do well in exams, I have somewhat achieved the others, now i need to tackle this mission of mine.

The end of exams will also mark the end of my 1st year. I am filled with mix feelings. But I am ready to go on. And as usual, i will take each day as it comes, not paying too much attention to do the past, nor thinking to much of the future. Life is to be taken as it comes, one step at a time.
