Unexpected Turns

Every once in a while I stop to think about the future, and how it’s all going to turn out; but what I didn’t know is that my life was about to get so much better!

A few months ago, I graduated from high school, and had an amazing summer with my family!

My aunt Dalia came to visit from Canada with her adorable two children, Maryam & Tala. I love those munchkins.

We had so much fun! We practically swam everyday, had movie nights every week, and went out for lunch or dinner when we had the chance to. It was nice catching up with her, she really made me feel like I actually was grown up.

After she left, no one really had time to have fun like we did in the summer time, but I guess everything happens in it’s own time.

By then, university was about to start. I was feeling a little down without my best friend, who had left to America for university, nothing is the same without her! I was so excited to start university at Al-Yamama, I read about their classes and had a good feeling about it.

This part is where I get so excited that I have to stop typing for a second!

It was completely out of nowhere! I decided to attend university abroad, at the same university that my best friend Lamees goes to, and to my complete surprise, no one really had a problem with it, since I got my acceptance, and finished all my paper work!

Right now I’m just 41 days away from getting on an airplane and heading to the place I can really strive for my personal success. California!

I’ve always watched movies, and wondered why life was so different, and why we couldn’t change it;  but now that I’m older I realized that it’s not that people don’t want change, it’s that they’re afraid of it.  I know I’m not, though.

I’m going to make a change, in my life, and in the lives of people around me. I want to show them that sometimes change is better for everyone, and that ‘Cheese’ can be found everywhere!

If you’re wondering what I meant by ‘Cheese’, then you have to read ‘Who Moved My Cheese’ By Dr. Spencer Johnson, the book I read a few hours ago. Brilliant.

Current countdowns:

41 days to California.

3 days until I’m finally 18 years old.

Time just flies, doesn’t it?
