First Week of School

- Graham Chapel, WashU, Saint Louis, MO, 2011 -

Survived the first week of school, alhamdulillah. It has been snowing cats and dogs this past week (though you cannot really see it in this picture), so I have been trying to walk very carefully to school, so as not to fall again. Hopefully, the boots that I have bought will help, insya-Allah. Many thanks to Laura for helping me! I am blessed to have such wonderful friends, alhamdulillah. :) 

Keep warm if you are experiencing winter!

Mere Coincidence or Part of the Plan?

Was just reading through my blog archives when I found this - saying that I should major in Linguistics, all the way back in 2006, a good 3 years ago! Am I the only one who found it bizarre that I'm doing Psycholinguistics now?

I pray for a good start to my academic year which begins today, Aamiin! :)

For those SMU students who are still partying somewhere or enjoying your holidays, school starts on Monday! And hence my last term in SMU, unless by some disastrous coincidence my calculations turn out to be flawed. Despite all my grumbles about smuggers and the change in the school environment from cosy to clinical, the SMU experience has been nothing but beneficial for me. In the past 3.5 years, I've done so many things that I never would have imagined myself even attempting and it is all thanks to the opportunities that the school has provided, the wonderful professors who are always willing to impart their knowledge and my amazing friends who are always there for me. I'm unsure how much more the school will change with the incoming batches but I will always look back at my university years with fond memories of the crazy things my friends and I did.

Before I risk sounding like an SMU advertisement (which I absolutely have no intention to), here's wishing all the best to those who are graduating this semester! Let's make this last semester a kickass one that we'll never forget!

You Know Your Life is Sad When...

You completely understand and worse, empathize with jokes like this:


3-4 more weeks to Submission of Final Papers,
5 more weeks to Exam Week,
6 more weeks to Holidays,
i.e. do what I've been doing this whole term without feeling guilty about it. :D
