Eid Mubarak

 Salaam Everyone

WoW  I haven't updated my blog since Ramadan...Busy Woman, Eh?   The Quarter is almost ending and we have Final Exams coming up in about three weeks. I signed up for my winter quarter classes, I'll be taking a Biology Seminar, General Chemistry (Part 2), and Intro to Islam. I can't wait to take Intro to Islam, sounds like an exciting class!!

I went to Los Angeles , California last week for the Gates Millennium Scholars Leadership Conference. It was awesome and I got to see John Legend and Bill Gates Senior and so many awesome Gates Scholars. I want to go back to California inshallah some time this summer, it's so beautiful and breath-taking.

This quarter is going well, my life is basically studying and MSA , don't have time for anything else lol.

Today is the Day of Arafat and tomorrow's Eid ul Adha. I'm so excited for Eid, I bought this beautiful abaya, can't wait to spend time with family and friends. I want to go see the movie Precious.

My First Post

Hello Everyone!

This is my first blog post, I made a blog a long time ago once upon a time but I never used it.

Soo..what inspired me to start a blog...well..I wanted a place where I could express myself and keep track of everything that is going on in my life..So who exactly am I??

Well... I am going to be a freshman in the fall at the University of Washington (Yay, I'm going to be a Husky :D). I am both excited and nervous at the same time but I'm happy because I already have a group of freinds who already go there who will be my support group and help me adjust and transit to my new life as a university student. I still haven't decided what I want to major in, I want to study health sciences, and I also want to study the Arabic language (there's so much I want do ).

So what do I plan to do on this blog?? I plan on writing snippets about my life,posting poetry,news articles, religous discussions, music, fashion, hijab styles, everything and anything that I find interesting. I will try to critique and post my thoughts about things that I post (if I'm not feeling lazy).

I love life and love learning, I think everyday is a new learning oppurtunity. I want to make the best of this life while I'm here on Earth.
