Packing

Currently I'm packing. I seriously hate this. It always reminds me of how caught up I am with materialism and how much I think I need to survive... comfortably. I wish I was a simpler person that was happy with one outfit and a toothbrush, Alhumdulilah.

That would be my ideal... but with these desi weddings it is truly an impossibility. Instead I am juggling two huge suitcases that are each exceeding the 50 pound limit. Stupid mess, give me an abaya and give me a book and I'm straight! (ok, and maybe a power converter :P) heehehe, I wish my mom would let me pack like that.

Okay anyways, so Eid Mubarak to everyone... I forgot to say that.

As soon as I get there, I know I am going to miss the luxuries of the U.S. and will be stampeded with inconveniences like using those wak toilets and not being able to drink the faucet water. I think I should go eat something... perhaps this is cranky bantering...

I wonder what kind of weirdos I will meet in transit... this should be interesting. I am delightfully dreading the potential scenarios... hmm... perhaps another person picking the lice or white hairs from his arm... hahahaha....

Anyhoo you guys, I picked up a GRE book to study on the way, Alhumdulilah. Also, my gpa is not as lousy as I had led myself to believe, Alhumdulilah. The "salvation" of that resident of the gutter lowly negative number proves that duas do work! :)

Alright I gonna hit up Asr... and finish packing. I am not taking my computer with me... so I don't know when I will get to post next... Shareef will be bringing his laptop at the end of January so inshAllah by then I will get back to this. Perhaps I can hit up some kind of internet cafe, but I have heard too many stories about weirdos there... so I don't know whether I should go and check it out just for that or avoid it all together. InshAllah time will tell how daring I want to be during this visit... but one thing is for sure... I am gonna ride my uncle's motorcycle without crashing into a building this time!!!!!!! inshAllah :)
