Flow

The days pass by without any of us noticing it. My Bangladeshi friend, Mo'een bhai, is leaving to attend his wife's brother's wedding in America on May 1. That made me realize, we've been in Egypt for more than two months.

"Time is a two-edged sword. If you do not cut with it, it will cut you."

Alhamdulillah everything is going well, although my test today was a little crazy. I knew most of the grammar rules but still managed to make some really inventive mistakes. My teacher was in awe of me. I have a feeling that I know more about Arabic grammar than I do English, which I guess isn't really saying much anyways.

I think I need to do something different now when I'm studying Arabic, because for the first time I'm feeling a bit...not bored, that's a swear word, but a little uninterested. I don't know why. Maybe it's just that stage in the middle that Farooq bhai told me about before I came.

I really pray to Allah that tomorrow's soccer game is good. Last time there were too many players and as a result you don't get to actually touch the ball very often, and when you do, you want to keep it for as long as possible, which leads to indegenerate smashing and bashing.

We need all your dua's, especially right now.
