Al Ameer, The Prince

Entering through the door, we were welcomed with the smiling waiters and the delicious aroma of the promising food. Despite the Christmas tree at the front, the restaurant had the energy and spirit of Eid, a Muslim holiday. Although individuals may come with friends, Al Ameer is a restaurant mostly fashioned and oriented as a family restaurant.

The time it took for our meals to be cooked and brought to our table was incredibly quick, however this may be because of the lack of customers at the time we were there. Bread was being served fresh from the oven, and was handed to us hot and fluffy with the sides of pickles and peppers as appetizers.The food was fresh and looked just like the pictures that were presented to us in the menus. Not only was the texture of the food unbelievably amazing, but also the taste was very delectable.

The waiters service has not been tested, since the restaurant, as mentioned before, had but a few families to serve. However, for the time that we have been there, the waiters and service was very efficient. They seemed happy to help us and answer any questions that was asked.

Eid and Thanksgiving

This break has passed by a little too quickly for my liking. Even though our break has started on Wednesday and i didn't have class on Wednesday, i still feel like it was yesterday that i was in class...
but now here i am, all over again, studying. I cannot wait for our Winter Break to begin, that way I won't have to study anything for a really long time--3 WEEKS!!! aaah, almost like heaven... uhh, not really

So this break, we celebrated two holidays as both Americans and then as Muslims. The first holiday was Thanksgiving, and as you already know, it is celebrating the pilgrims arrival. We went over a friend's house. That was really fun, we have been going for almost 3-4 years now. Since we have no extended family living in the US, we usually get together.

The second holiday is a Muslim one that we celebrate for 3 days. It is the same day that Prophet Abraham (if you know this story) was tested by being told to sacrifice his son, but was given a lamb instead. In Arabic, this holiday is called Eid. We have a lot of fun with our family on Eid, but this one was even better because my grandparents were with us (for the first time). We went to Zap Zone lazer tag, bowling, watched a movie, and just hung out together. I love this time we have together, since my parents, siblings, and I are always busy with either work or school. These days we all agree not to busy ourselves with anything but spending time together. And of course, the best part of the day is the gifts. ;p

So far, so good

i started working on my paper, and it looks like it wont be as hard as i thought it would. i have thought on this subject many times, so i kind of have my thoughts a little in order, if that makes sense. I already have a page and im only talking about the basics.
i am happy that i have already started and unlike my other papers i wont be panicking as much (at least i hope not).

The Final Project

im actually really excited about this project, theres only ONE thing though that i can live without: the 8-10 page paper. Im sure ill be ok, its just going to take me a very long time to do, so im gonna have to start now.
in canton, we have a recreation center and the only thing missing is an indoor swimming pool thats covered. the one thats there has a huge glass wall, so there really isnt any privacy. As muslim girls, we show modesty by covering our bodies, but at the same time we love swimming and, trust me, it is not comfortable swimming fully covered with a scarf around your head!

there's actually more than just one review on this one...

????

i just realized that i have a project due tomorrow at midnight....NOT good... that would mean that adding to the things that i already have to do, i dont think that ill be able to sleep tonight.
is this wat college is all about?? oh well, i guess that i have to go through it anyways.
but this project is not easy, we have to make a website for some sort of compnay that u have to make up. i thought this project was all just through writing a paper and i never thought id be more than that..... oh God....

This weekend

So today is Friday and i have a lot of things to do. I love the idea of not having classes on fridays, the three-day weekend thing is really working for me.
So the things i have to do consist of my paper, calc homework, and studying for an exam. Which is not bad compared to my past weekends, i just hope ill be able to finish everything and do it well.
oh and i have to catch up w/ my posts......

uh oh....

i have a bad bad feeling im not doing wat i supposed to for this paper...
i have words, but these words. . . its all so confusing, maybe a break?

Oh my...

i just realized that im very behind on posts. i think its because time is flying with all the things that i have to do in a short period of time. im actually working on my comp paper right now. And guess wat?? my thoughts are getting all jumbled up in my head and i cant just pick one out and put it on paper. im not even half way through, but im getting there. i knwo i have a lot to write about this subject, its just the paper+pencil=work equation is looking more like paper+pencil=BLANK...
this is getting just a little frustrating...

My Problem

I realized that my problem is not that i don't know what to write, but that i don't know HOW to write it. I think of all these ways to support my ideas, but then when it comes to putting pencil to paper, i get a blank. Or when i do get words that make sense onto the paper, then the sentences together don't really have a meaning.
i think that writing is the weirdest thing. Unlike math, where there is only one version of it, writing has so many different versions its hard to keep up. u can write soemthing that little kids can easily read while writing something with the same meaning for elders but those same kids don't understand!!!
it gets really confusing, because when im told to write a certain way....i get even more lost... is there no such thing a 'just writing'??
