The big day has passed us by, and I'm still alive, MashaAllah =) The question of the week has been, "How was the exam? How'd you do?" I'm still trying to perfect my answer to that question. Let's see... it was a difficult test indeed. It was 8 hours of exhausting mathematical manipulations. The morning session contained 120 questions, and I had 4 hours to complete them. The afternoon session contained 60 questions, and I had 4 hours to complete them. The morning session was much easier than the afternoon session, if you can call it that. I didn't have enough time to finish, so 30 minutes before the end of the exam sessions I started to make smart guesses, lol. In any case, the monster is over and buried for now, so let's leave it there... =)
Ramzan Mubarak to me! It's a beautiful month, and it should be spent in reflection and studying our wonderful deen. Ramzan should be a time to make resolutions for the year... to better ourselves... to be thankful for all that God has given us... and to study the Qur'aan, which is indeed a large part of this month and what it stands for. The Qur'aan is our gift from the One above, and we need to make sure we have read through it in thorough detail before it comes time to leave this home called earth. InshaAllah, my mission for this month is to read as much of the Qur'aan as I can... and yes, I want to read it like I read textbooks for class... I want to highlight and write... I want to dissect it so I have a deep understanding of it, InshaAllah.
I'm so excited about Ramzan this year because I'm finally out of school, and I can finally try to focus much of my attention on this blessed month. This is my first Ramzan being out of school, so I want to go to Taraweeh and take as much advantage of this month before it's gone. Allah, help me in this mission =) May I have an amazingly spiritual month, InshaAllah.
I haven't written in here about something... not sure how much I want to write in here about it either. I was being deployed to Afghanistan for rebuilding efforts, and I actually wanted to go for the experience. I feel like I need something out of the ordinary in my life right now, but my parents like freaked out. So, I'm not going.... perhaps more to come later, we'll see.
