Holy crapola, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted. So much has happened since January, but where to begin?? Not sure if anyone out there is reading this anyway! I guess a blog can be for oneself anyway, and my old self 40 years down the road can read this blog, if it still exists, which I hope it will.
Well, a major life event (is event the right word? I’m not sure…) happened in January. On the night of January 28, 2010, my father died in a car accident. It’s been over 4 months now, but sometimes it hits me like it just happened yesterday. Other times it feels like ages have gone by. Very weird. Still surreal. And it’ll still take some time getting used to. InshAllah (God Willing), he’s at peace and in a better place. If anyone out there is reading this, please read Surah Fatihah for him ! Or if you aren’t Muslim, please read a little prayer for him ! Thank you.
I’ve decided which law school I’ll be attending. I suppose that is huge news. And hopefully, God willing, this will be my last degree, because I have been a student FOREVER, and I think I really need to enter the real world soon lol… So 3 more years of being a student, and then I shall be a lawyer!
My cat Dobby recently turned 4 years old, on May 21, 2010. Happy Birthday Dobby! :)
Naturally, I am pissed at the current state of this world. Innocent people, who were delivering aid to the Palestinians, were killed by the barbaric Israelis. Is anyone surprised? I’m not. A catastrophic oil spill, the effects of which will be extremely long-lasting… the poor suffering wildlife… God damn the greedy oil bastards who obviously don’t give a shit about the environment. There’s just so much crappy news in the world EVERY day, sometimes it just really gets me down. May God help the oppressed, whether they be the Palestinians or the suffering wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, does anyone know how many elephants are left in Africa? Not many, not enough. It’s been estimated that by 2020 elephants will be extinct. Why? Because of GOD DAMN POACHERS! May those poachers and bastards who buy the ivory burn in hell for what they are doing to these magnificent creatures. Same with the poor tigers in Asia who are also nearly extinct. It sickens me how people can be so incredibly selfish, cold-hearted, greedy. The human species is the worst species.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. I’m sure I’ll be back to post here about my future summer travels… Traveling to a land far away… which land? Stay tuned!
Oh! WORLD CUP is SIX days away!!! Can’t WAIT.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Still reading, so keep writing :)
Nice to see you writing again. My condolences for your loss and may Allah have mercy on your father’s soul.
Good luck with law school. Ever thought about combining this with your passion for the environment to become an environmental lawyer?
p.s. this is talib from SC in case you’re wondering :-)
Sara, I am sorry for your loss and I hope his soul rests in peace.
I just read about your father.
I am truly saddened to hear of your recent loss and would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family on the recent passing of your father.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this most difficult time and I ask that you please pass these sentiments on to your family
With My Sincere Sympathy,
Farsh
Wow. Farsh. I thought you fell off the face of the earth. Really surprised to see you here. And you too Sadika. You disappeared too. and Talib, I’m sure you’re still on SC, but since I don’t go there anymore, I haven’t heard from you in a while either !
Thanks everyone for the condolences, I really appreciate it.
Talib,
Yes, of course I have thought about that. I would love to. But my mother is more concerned with me paying off my loans, and she feels if I pursue my passion of environmental law that my loans will never disappear. We will see what happens. InshAllah I will find a way to do Environmental AND make enough to survive ! we’ll see… :)
