So, what's happening?

Aargh.. I'm going crazy. I miss college so very much.
Three break days followed Eid because our Eid and the Shia Eid were 2 days apart (a result of the so-called Iraqi freedom), and Christmas was right after the latter.
On Wednesday we went to college, I met two of my professors on the way to my classroom in the second floor, I greeted them and wished them Eid Mubarak and was accompanied by one of them to the second floor, then I met two of my classmates again greeting and etc. and up I went to the third floor.. I was faced by many boxes and a closed door. I was shocked and seriously thought I was dreaming (Where the hell is my classroom? :(( ).. then I realized I have mistakenly gone up an extra floor leading to the roof. As I went down I found my friends laughing out loud at me.. I was thrilled to go back to reality. Few minutes later, A, my classmate was seen making the same mistake..
The classmates I met at the junction between the stairs later told me that both they and the professor who I left at the second floor shouted that I was going the wrong way but I didn't hear them! In short, I was the joke of the day!
The students decided to skip the last two lectures and go to the students' center. They actually told me to do whatever I want this time and I was determined to attend the lecture alone until I accidentally met a relative professor who just happened to be at our college seeing his colleagues and wishing them belated Eid Mubarak, and he advised me not to attend the lecture alone and so I didn't! Then the students seeing that our class and the first graders were the only ones who came to college decided to skip college on Thursday..
and that's how I turned to a careless crazy student.
I've been reading and reading in those break days and I really need to discharge.. I'm not sure if it's all the energy or the freezing cold weather that's causing me to shiver right now but it's probably the weather..
It's really cold these days. Aya, Ayman and my two sister are all sneezing and coughing all the time and I'm only waiting for my turn.
I made a long list of subjects I need to review and read further and it's sloooowly shrinking. My friends are all really depressed and carrying the world's burdens on their shoulders and of course I can't but get infected. Few minutes with my best friend however gets me back on track, thank God.
Okay, this post was just to tell you that I'm alive, well, crazy, a bit depressed and slowly freezing and I think it has served its purpose, so good bye! This is probably the last post I'm going to write in 2007 :)

THIS YEAR IS VERY bad for iraqi people this war do many think it back it many years like monkey the iraqi hummans
All of our friends are depressed where ever they may be around the globe. Depression on a summers day is a cold feeling let alone in winter. Hope all u guys pull through University feeling the way yous are at the moment. All i can say is just focus on yourself and not your surroundings if possible and in the end as Allah states in the Quran that only through his remembrance do the hearts find rest.
Hope to see further blogs in 2008 :P

I hope you stay healthy and do well in school .... hope the situation calms down across Iraq, and everyone finds a way to live in peace together.
Happy almost-new year! Both my kids are out of school for the Holidays and they are driving me nuts. As for depressing weather, it is cold, wet, cold, wet, and cold and really wet here. Did I mention it was cold and wet? Peace to you sister and all your family! God willing I hope for a better year for all the world.
I want to be on the same page.

Hi Najma, I'm always glad to read your new post and see that you are ok. :)
I have to ask, when your class decides to skip a class, how does the professor feel when he or she shows up to the classroom and no one is there? Don't you think they would be sad or disappointed? When I was in college, I never skipped class unless I was really sick. There were a few students who skipped some of the time, but most always attended. Don't worry, I am not judging you badly. But, maybe you and your classmates could think about the professor's point of view?
I'm sorry to hear that your whole family is sick. I had a really bad cold last week, and it was no fun at all! So, I hope you will all be well soon. Also, I hope you will get some warmer weather. We have been pretty lucky over here. So far, the winter has been pretty mild for us.
Take care and I hope your depression will lift. You deserve to feel some happiness! :)

Dont be depressed. Every cloud has a silver lining. I have stayed in Iraq for 2 years near Walid, between 86 and 88. That time the war with Iran was on. I found Iraq to be a beautiful country with beautiful friendly people and a very rich culture. I am sure all that still exists somewhere. I pray to god things become better for you this year. Happy new year.
