Really, I’m not dead.
I will be updating again soon, I promise. I even had a post getting all written out but I didn’t finish it and it’s still saved in my drafts folder.
November is a hell of a busy month. Hala is not happy about this.

That’s apparently the type of calculator I’m using. I have no idea what to even call this post, so I’m sticking with that.
I’ve got a busy, busy week this week. I got a midterm in managerial accounting and I’m not looking forward to it one little bit. To be honest, it’s not that hard. Accounting I and II were substantially more difficult, especially II. It’s just that there’s these things you have to do with the numbers and, for the most part, I don’t understand why you do them. I guess I’m just going to have to memorize what I can and regurgitate. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get through it with a decent grade.
I just felt bad because I haven’t updated in a while. I’ve been too preoccupied with college and stuff to do much blogging. However, because I don’t have much to say at the moment, I’ll leave you with this little tidbit:
Yesterday, I decided to use StumbleUpon as a temporary time-killer between studying and happened on these superifically unbelievable mouth-watering beauties. Too awesome, I tell you. Remember in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—-how Willy Wonka managed to discover a way where you could reach into the television to try out an advertised candy bar? I freaking wish the Internet worked the same way.
I credit the title of my post to the late George Carlin. Apparently that’s what ‘vomit’ is going to be referred to as. It cracks me up, but I doubt I’ll ever be able to use it. It’s hard to say “I think I’m gonna engage in an involuntary personal protein spill” and complete the sentence before your proteins have been spilled, if you get what I’m saying.
I digress.
I am leaving to good ol’ Lebanon the day after tomorrow. This may be my last post until the 13th of August, seeing that I probably won’t have time to access the Internet while I’m there. There’s always so much to do that rotting in front of a computer—-whether I’m blogging or really just rotting—-won’t be much of an option.
I have a lot to do…and I can’t believe I’m not doing any of it. I should be packing. I should be getting some papers in order to send with my sisters for when they go to Canada. (Oh, you haven’t heard? Yes, I am officially going to be left alone with my parents in Qatar while Madi goes to Concordia for her freshman year and Lana continues to get her Master’s in McGill. I’m happy that Lana will have some human company and that Madi’s embarking on her university career…but now I feel so abandoned. YOU’RE ABANDONING ME! BOTH OF YOU! TRAITORS!!!!)
I digress again. ‘Tis a hard habit to break.
I should AT LEAST be out of my pajamas or something. I’ve got papers to organize. I’ve got THINGS to do. This isn’t even college work and I’m procrastinating. All right, that’s it, I’m finishing this post and then I’m gonna go do something a little more productive. (Hala? Productive? Psssht, nevah!)
*Springs away like a fluttering leaf*
PS—-read this if you want another random thing to laugh at. Or, at least, raise one eyebrow while simultaneously scratching your head.
I changed the layout again.
I doubt I’ll ever really stop doing that.
But I like this one better…not quite as white as the other one.
And now I have to get back to work.
*Waves* Bye!
Well, I finished my Math Placement Test (MPT) for Qatar University a few hours ago. I studied hard for it, but apparently, people in universities seem to love to make my life difficult.
Well, okay, that’s unfair. Actually, the test wasn’t that bad. It was definitely harder than I anticipated, but I did my best with what I knew. I guess the only reason I’m feeling positive about it is because the minimum score for exemption from taking math courses was lower than I’d thought. I’d have to score 130/300 instead of 180/300. (Sixty questions, five points each.) So I have a higher chance for exemption than I’d previously thought, which is good. Moreover, people in the Arts program only have to take Math 1 instead of both Math 1 and 2. So even if I’m unlucky, I only take one math course. At least, that’s the way I understood it, and I hope I’m right.
In any case, I’m just so happy it’s over. I have now officially gotten a big bulk of uni preparation stuff out of the way–sending in my applications, writing my placement tests and TOEFL…so it’s all good for now, thank God.
*Stretches*
I’m hungry…
I just came back from my computer placement test for Qatar University. It went all right for the most part, though time was way too limited in my opinion. Two hours to show off your skills in MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint? Not to mention how much detail they wanted, it was almost as if they expected students to show up with all these programs downloaded into their brains–a’la The Matrix.
The first hour was devoted solely to MS Word. No biggie, it was not difficult, though a bit time-consuming. The second hour was for both Excel and Powerpoint–and I couldn’t finish even though I milked an extra half-hour from the reluctant and unintentionally annoying classroom supervisor. It was slightly disappointing, ’cause it’s not like I didn’t know what I was doing–I just needed time to do it. Time that, needless to say, wasn’t freely given.
Anyways, if worse comes to worse, I’ll have to take a Computer II course if I don’t get enough marks to pass Part II of the exam. I’m almost 100% sure I passed the first part (MS Word), so I know I’ll be exempted from Computer I. What I’m praying for is enough to pass Part II so that I’ll be exempted from taking any computer courses, period.
*Sighs* Glad it’s over though…
