T.A.I.F: Thank Allah It's Friday....

Haha, I just noticed that T.A.I.F. spells Taif, as in a city in Saudi Arabia. Okay...random, I know. But bear with me, it's been a long week =p.
So I just reread my post from this morning and turns out staying up and homework were really getting to my head. But I'm in a much better mood now. I feel so jumpy and happy lol and I don't know why. I know, its wierd that my moods are on such extremes (dead or really giddy). Haha. Do people still use that word? Giddy? Lol, it just sounds so old-fashioned.
So I think I'm so happy is because it's Friday =) I love Fridays. I only have one class and the weekend is tomorrow. It's a good life. Oo and today I got an Eid present from my Secret Sistah so that made my day =) Thanks Sara Haneef, for the chocolates and Bath and Body Works!
So something else that's random: after Jumah prayer today, the announcer was talking about Quran classes that the MSA offers, and then he goes "Quran classes are at the same time for brothers and sisters but in different rooms because I quote 'we're keeping this joint halal' and I just burst out laughing. Haha, I wonder who came up with that because that's just so corny and funny at the same time =)

So I was in a lab yesterday, and in between, I snuck into the Globe Hall to break my fast and pray Maghrib where the MSA (Muslim Student Association) was having an Iftar dinner. Alhamdulillah, the food was delicious and everything looked really wonderful. Btw, this is the MSA at Montgomery College in Germantown, yeah, you're probably confused because I go to University of Maryland. Well, I'm actually just taking one class down at MC (or is it up? haha. i duno) so that's why I was there yesterday. It's funny, I just like left in the middle of Orgo lab and prayed and ate some food and then I see my Muslim labmate (cool, i made up a new word) and my lab partner (who isn't Muslim lol but that's okay =) show up and I'm like "hmm okay, I guess I'm not the only one ditching Orgo lab for food!" and so we spent like a good 15 minutes there and brought back a plate for my teacher =) haha, he really liked the Pakistani/Arab/Afghan food (lol!). So yeah, I love how MC is like home. You know everyone and it's really nice. But UMCP is like home too especially because of the MSA and MWM =) So I guess me and my three homes really do come a long way.

It's the 27th night of Ramadan. Tomorrow's a Qiyam at Dar ul-Taqwa. I'm excited becuase the Qiyams are always very organized and nice Masha Allah, but I'm also sad because Ramadan's almost over =(. I'm really going to miss it.

Okay, I just noticed that my blog posts are always listed under the wrong times. Like it's 6:13 right now not 2:34?! Haha, oh well!

Ma' Assalama,
Hena
