| Life moves so fast... everything can change in the blink of an eye...
and then you blink again and you see that everything is still the same.
It's been a while since i've been on here.. but oh how I've grown in that time.
Out of undergrad and into grad school - the "real world" and not the one on MTV.. cuz that really isn't real. Life is a learning experience, and I'm embracing all of it, one day at a time. Because everyday I learn SO much, especially being in grad school - because essentially, everything you knew before is debunked and not wholly true. But at least I'm not stubborn enough to be bothered by that.
November 2006 to October 2007 - only one year and Subhanallah circumstances - but not life- has changed so drastically. Its kinda fun to reminisce on life. On how things have changed, and how they haven't. Cuz once again I have plans to go to Statesville and go trick-or-treating. And I still talk about our night with Resurrection Mary - and how she literally haunted my car afterwards, and how I'm never going back there again, along with all the other people who have said so.
And I'm 22 now - yet still feel 21. Cuz I just feel old saying im 22. Cuz turning 20 was such a hard thing for me to grasp, and I just recently got over that... how the heck am I supposed to accept that I'm 22 now?
Life just moves too fast, and it's good to slow down and take a breather.
And now I'm working too - 2 part-time jobs, soon to be 3 - AND going to school ABOVE full time (3 courses is full time & I'm taking 4). And everyone asks me how I do it. And I say it's in my genes - thanks to my mom :) But in reality, I have been able to handle it all pretty well, all thanks to the fact that I regularly take a moment to breath, or I make sure I have at least one day a week to wake up at noon (which is now becoming 10am due to the fact that I'm getting used to waking up earlier). So in that sense, the fact that I'm taking out tens of thousands of dollars of loans to finance my education/credit card debt isn't too bad.
But it's not just taking breathers that keeps me going. It's the fact that by now I have realized what it is that keeps me going and keeps me happy and motivated - and I make sure I don't cut those things out of my life. So praying, doing community work, spending time with good friends and discussing religion, life, and love help keep me grounded. Also, being grateful to Allah for all the things He has blessed and bestowed me with, appreciating myself and my own good habits, and cutting out people/bad habits that annoy me or my loved ones/waste my time and being able to recognize them.
Also, eating good food and making my own money helps a bit too ;)
Appreciating life is fun!
This is less a blog post, and more a reminder to myself - so take heart Farah!

so i went to chicagotribune.com for one of my regular news updates, and this headline caught my eye:
"Suburban student cited in online threat"
and i'm thinking... suburban... ok... don't let it be Niles West... not Niles West...
and sure enough... the lead started off with
"A Niles West High School freshman was accused today of making an online threat against the school... "
and all i could think is... Niles West does it again!!
Hmm.. I wonder if all those gangbangin kids movin out from the city are tainting our rep... ya think?
