Journal: Well, this is awkward.
Going to start a new category, which will be all about University. I am pretty sure they’re all going to be rants anyway, but I will try my absolute best to dig deep and see the beauty in this experience. I know some of you get really amused by my misery, so this is for your entertainment. Some of it, at least.
Since I only took one subject last semester (English), I am very content with what’s going on here.
My first COL-111 class this semester (which is basically Mathematics) wasn’t what I would call a …err successful first impression?
The teacher asked us to introduce ourselves and this is how it went:
Teach: What’s your name?
Me: Sara Ahmed.
Teach: which semester is this?
Me: The first, I took English last..
Teach: Oh. Oh. IF. ..YOU….DON’T. ..UNDERSTAND..YOU…CAN…AAAASK…ME…OKAAAY?
Me: Umm..okay…but I..
Teach: EEETS OOKAY. DON’T BE SHY.
Me: I’m not shy, I’m trying to tell you I..took the ACTUAL Intensive English Writing course, not the Levels ( English for people who don’t know shit), so you don’t have to emphisize words.
Even though studied English before, apparently that doesn’t count as a bloody semester.
After the incident with Miss Condescending, another chick was asked for her name, and this is her answer:
‘My name is bla, I am bla years old, I like studying mathematics because it is logic and even if I don’t major in bla, I just love love love it. I think that it is life, and if we don’t have numbers, we can’t know our weight and life is numbers and that’s it.”
That’s it.
T h a t ’ s i t.
Why all the bla-ness? Your name, only your name. I don’t even…
That’s when I came up with a theory.
“There is always that one kid in class that’s going to make a whole movie out of a tiny questions; just like there will always be that one kid, that looks like he/she doesn’t understand what is being said”
Might add shit to that theory later.
Anyway, things are quite alright so far. I will try updates as much as I can. Make sure you check out my recommendations blog, since I won’t be posting music/films and whatnot here.
Random thoughts: Screw cars, I want to own and ride a camel.
I don’t know if people who make that assumption are serious or not (guess one can never really know), but right now I really want a camel and I also want to learn how to ride it. When people ask me, I would gladly say ‘Yes and his name is Inyofacefoo’.
Psh.
Grr. Educate yourselves! Read! Watch news, whatever. Just educate yourselves before blurting out such retarded statements that most-of-everyone on youtube/blogs/the world would make fun off.
PS: Pimp my Camel is a very popular show in the Gulf.

Illustration/Journal: Robot.
Let me start with a big thank you to Miss Yasmine for the Wacom (Bamboo Fun) Tablet recommendation, probably the sexiest gadget I own (after the iPad and Galaxy S)
Honest Robot
This is officially the first REAL illustration. (Others included Muneeb and Reema’s Birthday e-cards). Software used is Corel Painter Essential’s 4, the crayon tool was used to outline the robot and the water coloring tool to…well water color the darn thing smart-ass. I do realize it is sloppy, still in the processes of learning. I need drawing classes too.

Comic: (un)happy new year.
I wanted to make a new year’s post to express how I really felt about this ridiculously overrated event/celebration? Didn’t really find the right words to express how I honestly felt, till I saw this. Arigato Mister Watterson, this is pretty much how every new-year feels to me.
Not to mention the idiotic jokes that are cracked a couple of hours before New Year’s eve.
I would marry grown-up Calvin.
Stand-up comedy/music: Axis of awesome.
If you don’t think this is ultimate genius-ness, then we seriously have a problem. Gettaaawtofhere!
Word!: William -fucking- Shakespeare
Don’t think I have anything to add here.
The next time you call me lame for having so much respect for this man, I will send you this. Better yet, print it out and making you swallow it.

Film/Japanese: Ikigami
I never thought I would ever watch this, thank God I did. No regrets what so ever. You know how hollywood ruins most of your favorite books and sometimes comics to make some high-budget-soon-to-be-3D-film? This is nothing like that, so much respect for the Japanese. I only hoped they would turn it into a series instead of a film, it would have been much more awesome. Alas, you can’t rush good stuff.
Yes, there were tears, a lot. It wasn’t even funny. Watching something still come to life really is the most amazing feeling ever, wish Hollywood would do that often.
If you don’t tear, or at least feel like tearing whilst hearing this, then congratulations, you have no soul. Hoorah!
I don’t recommend this for people who haven’t read the manga (1 , 2) though, you guys seem ignorant and I don’t like you. Be gone!
PS: Let me know if you want the download link.
