Refuge

Right… Blog time.

Woke up at 1: pm today , so missed my one university class , no regrets though , i had homework to hand in which i didnt really do. gives me time to do the homework and make up some excuse why i didn’t show up.  … what? at least i’m going to do the homework. i used to take advantage of people’s kindness and tell them to make two copies of their assignments…one for me. and dont get me started on cheating in exams. ehh grades are over rated anyway , as long as you know the content you’re being taught or at least the gyst of it , that should count for something. when you go into the working world you’re most likley going to start jobs that have nothing to do with what you learned. Not always the case , but it can happen . 

after i took my time waking up did my dailies , i then walked into the kitchen ,  reached for a box of kellogs frosties and poured it in a bowl .I then remembered one important detail right before i took the first bite, It’s still Ramadan. turned my Xbox on  , played video games during which i was being lectured about skipping class. makes me wish i left the country for University when i had the chance , but nope. even though they seen me , or rather catch me in the act of skipping classes in between the two years i’ve been at Uni , we still manage to sit down and have a nice little chat about the importance of education , and responsibility ,  and i’m always oh so enthused during these little “chats” …it’s like hearing it all for the first time… all one million of them . heh , yet i manage to get good grades in the end.

 The diffrence between my family’s point of view and mine is , they beleive in order and systems and rules that need to be followed by the letter , me on the other hand , i use every loophole i can without raising too many eyebrows. BUT  they cant seem to see things from where i’m standing. how can they? they’ve never tried . well read on and you’ll get a better picture painted for you.

after the lecture my mother came into my room..again.. and some how found out that my exams were going to be directly after my Eid holiday (7 days long) during which i’m going to be in Oman (10 days) , getting R&R with my Dad , brother , and some of their friends , and catch fish on an island that looks like it’s never been touched by modern man.

And so the nuke drops. obviously i knew all about exam period , i also knew i could probably postpone the exams into a later period , but there’s always a disadvantage  having cousins around in your university that may as well be town criers . so as my mother ever so ”calmly” informs  me about the exam period colliding with the fishing trip , stopping me from saying anything everytime my mouth opens , my father overhears from the otherside of the house and if the words “education , responsibility , or eductation” are ever uttered in a sentance he comes running like a shark smelling fresh blood.  after  mom was done here we go with round two with dad , talking AT me like i dont have a clue what i;m supposed to do and said to get my exam schedule tomorrow. now here i got to say one sentence in.  ” exam timings aren’t specific and not all have been announced yet , and i was going to handle this on my own by the way , i knew what was going on in my on university by the way , i go there.” then he gives me this look like i’m speaking nonsense… fastest way to end a conversation with my dad is saying “your absolutly right , i didnt know what i was thinking , i’ll get right on it” otherwise these things drag on and on , and i shit you not , i fell asleep standing once. lectures….they’re like watching soap oprah re-runs when they’re from your folks

so that was interesting..lol

on a lighter note , i went with my brother to see the signboard we were putting up for the business me and him are starting together. looks awesome…real professional , thanks to his friend who designed the logo and got the best (and most expensive) plastics company here to do the sign for us at half price. success really is about who you know isn’t it? can’t wait till we open.
