A break

from blogging. I'm taking one :(

It's my last year before uni, and things are insane. I keep saying I declare myself superhuman if I survive the next couple of months. Some things I have to do:

1- Finish off (okay, note to self, stop lying to Self - START) my college list and apply and write the application essays.



2- Work on my Model United Nations issues. I'm going to Singapore in November for an MUN conference. It's kind of like a simulation of the real United Nations. We discuss issues the world is facing, and we write resolutions just like the UN and debate them and stuff. I'm representing the Czech Republic in the Economic and Financial committee. These are the issues I have to research and write resolutions on:

- The right to education: finding solutions to guarantee and finance education in LEDC's.

- Providing adequate financial resources to developing countries dealing with external debt.

- Encouraging macroeconomic policies conducive to environment and development.

- Eradicating poverty through industrial cooperation.
........ I can regurgitate time and I still won't have enough of it.

3- Study for (and take) three SAT subject tests - math, physics, and chemistry.



4- Fill out my CV and chase after teachers for recommendation letters.



5- Work on all the school projects I've got coming up. For my global issues class (loads of mini-projects and one major one), physics (one major one), chemistry (one major one), English (loads of mini-projects and one major one), Arabic (loads), and math (not sure yet).

6- Work on my graduating project. As usual, I've chosen something way beyond my capabilities. I've chosen microcredit. The research itself won't be too bad, but the community service part of it will be. I have to find a person looking to set up a really small business and raise enough money to help them. Then I have to find a mentor who will help my borrower manage his/her money and set up his/her business. I might switch to something else if I can think of something I'm passionate about and simpler (but I kind of really want to do this).

Ummm there's more but I think I've scared you enough already.

So yes, there you have it. My excuse for not blogging.

I'm guessing I'll be back around December/January. I'll try to post stuff occasionally, but if you notice that I've started blogging way too often, please leave me a comment saying,

"You are wasting your life away, you incompetent idiot; you have a future to worry about."

Seriously, copy/paste just that.

But yes.
I'm really going to miss this blog and all the amazing people I've met.
I mean, holy cricket, 50+ followers?!
When I started this blog I was really just expecting 5, tops.
Meaning a few of my friends and my aunt and uncle.

It means a lot to me that you find anything here worth following. Seriously. And your comments always brighten up my day. I'm going to miss them. A whole lot.

But yeh. I need to stay strong, right?!

Wish me luck, okay?

I like you all, very very very very very very much.

(We're not ready for the big L-word yet, and all the commitments it will bring. So it will have to wait. Like a neon pink elephant in the room waiting for its existence to be acknowledged.)


Take care!

I'll be back.
Jus' like Terminator.

Dragons and Hot Sauce

The rough draft for our final economics project is due tomorrow. It's 10:29 pm and I haven't started it yet. NOT BECAUSE I NEGLECTED IT (Okay, I did, but..) I totally forgot about it. I signed into MSN to tell my friend Fatima all about this Omegle chat I had with a weirdo Lebanese guy, when she said something that caused something very cold to trickle down my spine.... (Fear, I think):
"Dany, did you start your economics project?"


So I'm going to start it now. Cricket :)

I'll leave you with my favorite quote of the day - A statement made by my friend Nawal. I was fully convinced that I was the weirdest person I knew until I met her.

Nawal: "Oh my god the driver got me shawarma from that disgusting plaaaace.... I.. *takes a bite* Oh, no, wait, it actually tastes good. 'Cause like, last time I ate from it, it was SO weird, there was like ketchup and HOT SAUCE and weird stuff all over it.. It was so disgusting I felt like a dragon!"
Danya: "...... Since when do dragons eat hot sauce?"
Nawal: "Noooo, like.... They don't eat hot sauce, they BURP hot sauce."

I love you Nawal. I truly do.


Oh and I couldn't resist posting this:
