We need a rest

Hi everybody

Finally, we did the mid term exams and we finished it. I am really satisfied with my reading and listening exams, but I think that I could've done better job in the writing. I do not know what happened to me during the exam. It was so hot in the classroom that i felt that there is no air around me. At the same time, I had a really bad headache, and that why i did not do so well in the exam. I just think that i could've done better if i was in a better mood than that. Anyway, i was under alot of pressure during the exam time and i just wanted to get it done. I hate exams! and i can not find a reason for that even though I studied really hard beffore the exam's day. I didn't move from my room and even the food my mom brought it to my desk. I am very spoiled. I feel that i am so lucky to have a nice family that supports me all the time, especially when i have exams or difficlties in my life. Now i think we should take a rest after working really hard in the exams. I think it would be a great idea if we will have some days off after the midterm, but thay's not gonna happen anyway. Tommorow we will have a Halloween party with sandy. I think we will have fun tommorow. Everybody will have to do something. I am not sure what to do. I am afraid that I will do something strange because i do'nt know much about this festival. In my country we don't have halloween, instead, we have a similar custom in which children go from house to house asking for snacks and some money. When i was alittle kid, I used to go with my sister and other friends to ask for candy and sweet and guess what! some people throw water on childern just for fun. I had a really good memory about these days and i think that childhood is the nicest stage in everybody's life.

Good luck in the midterm

Hi every body. Now we are in the midterm. Can you believe it! This week is a very hectic week for every student. We have many things to do ......Oh my God. These days my life is only studying. When I go home, I just have my dinner with my little brother because everybody is at work and then take a little snap, then wake up and studying. Isn't that boring? Also I am worried that I do not have enough time to study for the midterm because I have to work Friday night and saturday and I am not allowed to be absent from work because my boss will get mad at me. Last time, she told me that you are working two days and then you phone and say i am sick that is not acceptable,so my situation is critical because all the waring from my boss. First, she was a very nice lady. But later, when i start to call and say that I am sick. She become more mad at me. Whatever, I do not care about my job as i care for my study. I do not care if she gets mad or nor or even if get fired from this job. I work at series in ladies were and it is really busy in the weekend. People are shoping as if they never bought clothes before. They are crazy, especially, lades. Oh my god..... Almost all our cutomers are old ladies. you know old ladies they are crabby and they keep bothering you all the time by there unreasonable questions. Some of them are very nice and they really appreciate your help, while other you feel that their aim is only to bother other people and argue with them. Sometimes they get mad at me for something i am not responsible for and when I told them that they become more and more angrey. you know what i always do? I just ignore them. you know not all the people are the same. Oh.. i feel that i am talking alot about my job. I should think only about the midterm and how to prepare for it. I hope that I will did well in the midterm and good luck for everybody.

Special Days

These three days Friday, saturday, and sunday are very happy days for me. In these days, I have celebration with all my family, friends, and acquaintance. We call this celebration Eid. We congratulate each other and pray special prayer together. The Eid marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. I have very strong feelings in these days because we consider there days as days for forgiveness, moral victory, peace of congregation, fellowship, brotherhood and unity. In these days, we are not only celebrating the end of Ramadan but also we thank the God for the help and the strength he gave to us to be self-controlled during that month. I am writing this post specifically because many of my friends asked me about Ramadan. Every day during the month of Ramadan, We fast (do not eat ) until the sunset. The purpose of this fasting is not only fast from food but also refraining from lying, stealing, greed, envy, and gossip, so it is more spiritiual things. Also in the celebration, Most people wear new and formal clothes and we congratulate each other by saying " Happy Eid".

Cold weather coming up !

I can not believe it! Winter again. Calgary's weather is often changeable. It is notoriously difficult to predict in detail from day to day. In the same day, Calgarian experience four seasons together. I guess they used to it because the grow up in this changeable weather, but for new people the idea is different. It is very hard to adapt to this weather especially in winter because I have never experience such a cold weather in my life. When I was in my country, I always hoped to live in a cold country. When I came here I experience the coldest weather in my life. Inspite the fact that it is very cold and you have to wear to many clothes such as sweaters and a heavy jacket, I love winter and I love the white snow. In my country there is plenty of rain in winter, but snow is extremely rare down there. So much so that I’ve only ever seen a flurry. Now I experience being in a heavy snowfall or waking up and looking outside to see fresh untouched powder that has fallen during the night. Wow, I am getting chills just thinking about it. lol

Hi everybody
This is my first blog. I am pleased to welcome everybody to my blog. I am really happy this semester. I feel that I have enough motivation to study in this course. First of all, Scot creates a friendly and relaxing environment in the classroom . He always try to make us laugh and understand the material easily. Studying in such a relaxing envirnment will help us to absorb the material more easily. Secondly, every student in our class is friendly and helpful. I feel very relax when I sit in the classroom. In addition to that, this semster I get to know new friends. Some of them are speaking the same language as me, so I am verey excited about that .Honestly, I think this is the most interesting class I have ever had.
Good luck to everybody
