Things that have made me happy:
(Admittedly, the majority of these have been documented during the beginning of the month)
-mom putting a mini chocolate bar in a lunch she prepared me one day
-shawarmas. I've had them a few times this month at different establishments and the ones I get on campus cafeterias are bomb.
-finally finding a leather jacket for a decent price
-the amazing things my parents have been able to see this month
Things that i've learned:
-something I appreciate about science is parsimony
-the function of the mediator does exactly what its name suggests. I love when science has purposeful names instead of technical hogwash they want us to regurgitate.
-not to assume (although later in the month, my initial assumptions were correct)
-need to get things on track (inshaAllah)
-life is smoother when my parents are around
Things that have happened:
-EID! The only thing that I was excited for because I got to wear a fancy dress mom and dad gifted my sister and I. All in all, a lovely day spent with family I don't get to see frequently. I loved that I got to wear a bit more makeup for once.
-A breakdown. InshaAllah, I can get on track. I feel awful about having it still but, what can you do.
-the leaves are starting to change colour! Fall, please don't leave us so soon. I want to document your colours.
-Lots of loads of laundry
A picture of Eid day makeup. The lighting washes it out but here it is.
I wish I could recall more of what happened but I should get back to work. If you're reading to the end of this blogpost, I probably know and adore you. So whisper hello :)
