Happy Eid!
Hey there, how are you all? Well, we're having a feast at the moment (for those who don't know about it). Actually for me and my mates at school we're not really able to celebrate anythin the usual way because of the EXAMS. Nevertheless I am having a great time.
Yesterday me and some few friends went out to the movies and watched a good film, though I thought it's not that good at first. (Khyana mashru3a). I had a nice time. Not all of my friends joined us, but I was like "I want to go out of this house and whatever it takes". (That's why I'm making a big fuss out of it.) Had some interesting talks and was refreshed. But then I came home late and had to listen to my mom being angry and blaming me for being late and going out once during the whole holidays..But I survived and that's it. I had to change moods and I think it was a great push for me.
And here I am today, still enjoying my time. Heard about Sadam's death, yeah.
To Mori: I don't really know what you critisize about the judgement. I don't know if it's right for a human being to 'kill someone else' even though if it was judicial.
Anyways..I have to go again..See you later and happy feast, everyone and anyone.

2006!!!!!!!Oh dear!!
Yesterday there was this programme on TV talking about 2006 and how people would generally consider it. Though I would think this question really annoying and stupid, I found it interesting listening to various perceptions from very different points of view.
It turned out that this year has a majority of bad occurences in it. Many celebrities and personally close people to me died. It wasn't such a pleasant year I daresay. It was also full of surprises, also unpleasant ones. I really never thought some events could take place, not to me or to people so close to me. Such events, I don't really want to reveal right now, were at first astonishing but then happened to be an everyday life.
That's not the point. The point is I was really somehow astonished by the number of bad occurences happening in general, and in my country and surrounding in specific. Of course there are also these typical Egyptians unaware of anything happening in their country or even to them. Wonder when they're going to wake up some day and revolt before it's too late. It's definitely high time to prove that Egyptians aren't what people say about them, not only to prove them wrong but to defend some moral principles we have to believe in.
For a while, exactly when watching the last stupid, purposeless demonstration in Al-Azhar, I was wondering whether we really want to prove the American prejudice wrong or we want to give them more and more evidence to offend us and insult our humanity. Because if we really aren't what they say, which I'm sure of, why don't we act accordingly and defend our lgoic and ourselves furthermore.
I don't know what to add. I am glad I was given the oppurtinity to think and to say my opinion properly, at least in here. Maybe other people don't get what a dangerous stage we've reached because they simply weren't given the same chance. But is human rights and equality something you believe in and recommend only when you're highly educated or ain't it rather something naturally??!!
In hope for a better future..what can I say.

Was a nice day indeeeed.. :D
What can I say, it was a very nice day. I had soo much fun and I really enjoyed how we all interacted in such a way. For people who don't know: we had this day free, gave each other presents and were hyperactive and funny the whole day long. I will miss you, guys and I will always cherish these precious moments of ours.
It's like the days we've got to party and have fun in order to get ready for the next difficult (vor allem boring) days. There's a birthday on Thursday and I hope I will be able to come. Me and my friends are meeting before the brithday to watch Pride and Prejudice. (for me it's the million time, for them just the first time..so excited).
I hope everything will be as nice as it was today.
I'm just happy and wanted to share this with you.
well, have nothing else to say..hope you're all doing great.
see you later!!

That's life??!!well..
Ok..let's start counting some stuff annoying me or actually ASTONISHING me
First of all..I was a good, in a way happy human being. I struggled from time to time, but I found my way out at the end of the day. Exactly this description doesn't fit anymore. I feel that nowadays things can't be going well (at least with me)..you can't just say things are going fine with me..cause that means either you're neglecting things or you're not saying the truth.
How can things be fine when I feel there are these people doing nothing but being hypocrites and other people believing in what they say?
How can things be fine when for more than two weeks me and my surrounding aren't feeling good at all..or do you call constant crying feeling good?
How can things be fine when members of one group (not to speak of family members) lack the communication link with each other and have found nothing else to do than amuse themselves by either showing how perfect and brilliant they are (which is pretense by the way) or making fun of each other. Helping each other or just being yourself seems to be old-fashioned fantasy these days..
How can things be fine when I work hard and don't get what I deserve, which declines to not feeling fairly treated, filling myself (actually I'm not the only one) with despair and frustration??And believe me unfairness is the most thing one can hate and feel uncomfortable living with.
I do my work, ask if I need help and all.. But no..that doesn't seem enough (at all) these days. What should we do? You should go to a private teacher (still didn't finish) AND make him feed you with the words you need in a presentation..(let me be specific..not the words you need, the exact words you have to say..so you don't need anything more than pronouncing them, which is easy after some practise (..) ) That's how you're supposed to get your grades. Or ..yeah..I'm so unfair, there is another way of getting grades, on which you don't really have influence: If you're lucky enough you'll get fair, understanding teachers. (Hard luck or in German: PECH GEHABT..if you didn't get good teacher..)
You know what? People are sick of us saying this and complaining about it..Well, I'm sick,too. I'm sick that I can't get better things just because of my luck or the fact that I don't want to fully rely on private teachers.
Don't tell me that's what happens at every school. No, it doesn't. When you attend this school for one specific reason which is to graduate with this Abitur, they really do have to pay attention to make it a fair system, because that's what they (the school founding fathers or whoever) and our school is famous for. Or were their talks about fairness only for advertisement..no more? Maybe it will influence this one's future or career or whatever if they corrected the system somehow. Besides it feels so bad when you're able to get better grades and you did what it takes, but you simply don't get them. Isn't it unfair or am I talking nonsense as usual?
And don't tell me the famous expression: : Life is unfair!!!
That wasn't the life I was told about when I was a child, that isn't the life I was living two years ago. What has changed? Is it me? Or does life have to be unfair when getting older? I am not imagining an Utopia or something like that..I am just astonished, frustrated and disappointed. I used to be better than this and I don't think it's my mistake (I'm willing to admit my faults if it logic I mean).
Of course I have to end this post with the famous optimistic wishes for another better future. I simply don't think it's going to take place. I have not given up, but I am a bit sceptic these days. It felt good being honest and letting go with some annoying facts of what happened to be my everyday life.
What if the future had something better in mind with me, with all of us? Let us just hope for it, and if it turns out differently then let us just dream of our Utopia!!

Final destination!!
I am glad we finished the exams, well glad wouldn't be fitting because they weren't that good. I am just happy we are finished..Btw we ARE literally finished (dead), because of these exams. I also wish the people doing "nachschreiben" all the best.
Well, finally I am relieved once again. Believe me, these two weeks were the most dreadful, stressful weeks I've ever had. I am excited that on Thursday there are many people having parties and all, it's just the sort of refreshment I needed. (there is a "7-meter" meeting..and also a birthday.) I missed this feeling that there won't be anyone telling me to go and study, though I still have some things to do, but exams have a special stress I dare say.
Today was a stressing day for many of us, but I guess the day will come when we will all look back at the current days and just laugh at our reaction towards school stuff in general. I sometimes say..It's just school, a bit too early for such horror scenes we imagine. I truly believe things are gonna be just fine..one day..some day..(Just don't ask when!!)
By the way, just remembered, Diana, I hope you're doing fine now and that everything is alright. Hopefully you will recover soon and will update us with everything. I will be praying for you as I said before.
I had so much fun today at school and I think things are getting somehow better for all of us, though it doesn't really show that much. And also if things didn't get better, I guess it's best to enjoy the moment and not to think about anything which may bother us or worsen our good mood. Let's just erase everything else than being happy (don't be selfish..just happy). At least this is what I've been trying to do lately. But I will admit I failed most of the time. Nevertheless I am giving it a try.
I guess I have nothing more to say.. let's wait and see.
