Food and stress

Why is that when we are stressed we turn to food, chocolate, ice cream and all of that other stuff. We love food and we need an excuse to eat it. I love eating and when I'm stressed I have more of an excuse to eat more. I have a paper coming up, oh it's time to break out the ice cream and eat ! There is always an excuse. I know I have seen many times, when someone has a hard break up, they turn to food. Food is comfort, because food can't leave you and go. There is also when your period is coming up and you get those cravings. It's like being pregnant, and having crazy cravings.

Devry

Devry is a really great school in my opinion. They have great things that we need. They have the academic support center which helps students that need help in subjects get better grades. They have a writing center that can help students do their writing assignments and help fix up the resume. Devry is a small private college, at least the one here in queens is. That can be two things. It's bad and boring because there aren't many students that I can interact with and it's good because it's not distracting. I can just do my work and get out. The professor's are helpful, at least some of them are because they teach hands on. and can actually give you the time of the day and help you understand the material.

Internet Addictions

There are so many people that are addicted to going on teh internet. I mean people who are obsessed with facebook, twitter, myspace, and all that crap. I think its ridiculous. How can you just go online all day. I mean I do use facebook, but I use it only when i'm bored. This is not an addiction. There are people who are updating their status every 2 minutes. I am taking a shower. I am eating. I am laughing! WHAT? We don't need to know every single thing you are doing. They make it their lives and I believe the people who use it all day don't have any lives. I am no one to judge but it's like get something better to do. These online sites are ruining people and they shouldn't exist anymore in my opinion. Boy, would that cause a riot! LOL

My pet parrot

I am so tired all the time. There is a big reason for that. I have a big white cockatoo at home who doesn't let me sleep. It's nmy alarm clock. It wakes up every morning when my sister wakes up at 5 and starts its day. It screams hystericaly and laughs. The bird is so loud that it pierces through my ears. I want to sleep. It quiets down for a few hours and than it starts up again. It starts at 9 and keeps going until someone goes down to the living room and sits with it. The parrot has become very violent. It doesn't like men. It almost bit my brother's ear off which was not funny at the time but became hysterical later.

Finals

The finals are here and I am crazy stressed about my finance final! This is not something I am looking forward to...I am not ready for it. It is so hard and I have done a practice and just the thought of doing the final is getting to me...I am hoping I do really well because I can't afford to get a low grade at this pont. I am on probation or atleast I think I am so I really need atleast a B. I have been working so hard and it would kill if I just got a low grade because I didn't really understand the material.

Laziness

I have a problem which isn't good. I am always tired or always yawning. This is a sign of laziness. Lets say i even had a day off, I don't do much but by the end of the day I am so tired. This is probably because of the way we eat and our diet is probably all wrong. I need to eat more fruits and vegetables. I need to drink less soda, and work out more. I think we all need to start eating a little more healthy than we usually do. This is something we all just need to incorporate in our lives so it isn't hard for us.

Finals

This session has been actually not that bad. My English class was always fun. The finance class always had me at the edge of my seat but I think I made it. I still have the Final which is next week. I am so stressed over that because I am not good at finance. I can get by it but I wont ace it, which by the way I wish I could get an A in this class. I have got all my assignments done but am afraid about the final...This is going to take time. It might even take the 3 and a half hours that they give. That will really suck. My goal is to atleast get a B in the finance class. I have done or atleast I believe I have done all my work in my English class so hopefully I will get a good grade here too...

Kids

I do love kids. They are very cute and always fun to have around. I have 2 nieces and they mean the world to me...I just don't think i'm ready for my own...I feel like everybody needs time to get ready to have a family, and when you're ready you know it. I was here with my 2 nieces and the thought just came to me so I thought to blog about it. When are we really ready? Some people are just forced into it at such an early age because of the mistakes they make. They are not ready to be mother's or father's and have to deal with it. A lot of times this causes problems, and the mother and father of the child don't stay together. This may cause problems in the childs life later on because of not having the love and care that the child deserves! It's a topic that can be discussed with different views by so many.

TV shows

I was sitting here watching the Tyra talk show today and thought to write my blog on it. These people like to hype things up too much. I feel like they are told what to say before going on. Someone I knew had gone on the Tyra show, and they told me that they like to play up the drama before sending them before the camera. The show was on weight, and they would be like oh he said your fat, what do you think about that. I think it's ridiculous. We watch these shows because we find it to be comedic, and it is, but than when I think about how these shows are made, I'm like it it really necessary. I don't think it is!

Having guests over

In my house when we have guests over we always cook so much, and have an abundance of food left over for the next few days. This is always great, but I never understood, we can be starving before the guests come but we can't touch our own food. LOL. It's not fair. My mom has this thing where the guests need to be fed before we touch the food because there might not be enough food left for them. There is a whole load of it yet there might not be enough. That has always been hilarious to me. We had guests over on Thursday and we made so much food, and also got some from a restaurant, so i'm picking at it. LOL. My mom comes and starts yelling at me, telling me there ain't going to be enough food for anyone! Haha

Miracles

I have always believed in miracles. It's just something with faith I guess. I believe that miracles can happen at anytime and anywhere. Miracles happen every single day. It's very important to have some kind of religious faith in this world or else where would we be? I am a MMuslim, and I have Islamic faith. That is that I believe in only One God, and his messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him). I have just recently become more religious, meaning I am learning new things about my religion daily! Islam is a beautiful religion, and people don't see that because of the way people have made it out to be. If people actually took the time to research the real religion, they would definitely understand what it is, and how beautiful it truly is!

Family

Family is a great thing to have and i'm very fortunate to be in the family i'm in. There are just things that I guess every family has to deal with. The things I have to deal with in my family are my OVER protective brother. There is just so much that goes on in this house, it doesn't see, normal. Sometimes I feel trapped in my own house and I know that is not normal. I am very thankful to have a great family, my parents are so loving and caring but I feel that a lot of what is going on isn't normal. We are supposed to be able to do our own thing and not be controlled. I think it's normal to hang out with friends, but even that is hard in my house! I just didn't have much to talk about in the blog and since this is supposed to be like my diary, i thought to write my feelings.

My Weekend at PA

We went to PA for the weekend and I was very excited because I thought that they had some great outlets and stuff that I would enjoy! We went to the outlets and I found nothing but a sweater! I was mad! I went there especially for the shopping and found nothing. We went to hershey park the next day, and that was a lot of fun! I felt like a kid agaiN! We went on all the coasters even though my eyes were closed really tight on most, it was load of fun! My cousin who went with us got annoying because she started feeling sick which wasn't her fault but we got mad. When she finally got better we started on the rides again. Me, my cousin, and my sister were all in the back back seat of the car. Those seats are pretty small so imagine our pain! We were in great pain! I don't think I want to be going on any family trips with the all of us anytime soon! We were 9 people in a Mercedes jeep! Ouch! Not fun but the trip itself when we got there was great!

Working at the mall

Working at the mall with the little munchkins is always so much fun! I love little kids and to work with them is a blast. We have to take their pictures and make them sit with the bunny. I actually get to be in the bunny costume on the weekends and damn do I love that. I get to walk around the mall and dance like a fool. No one knows who I really am so I can get away with doing the dumbest things. I was dancing with the little kids today, and I would never do that in public being me! I'm a shy chick. LOL

This week

This week has been so tiring and hectic! I have been working all week, and did more than 40 hours. I had classes, and had a big project to do , and thank GOD I completed it! I'm just a little backed up on my blogs but am trying to make sure I do whatever I can. I met with my classmates yesterday at the hookah bar for the English project. That was pretty cool. We observed how people smoke, and stuff. That environment wasn't new to me. I have been to hookah spots before and it's always fun and different. We sat and watched Egyptian films which was fun. I just have to type up my reports for that!

My new JOB!

I started working at the mall today. I do it almost every year. It's a seasonal position as a helper, and today I got to be the bunny! I held little kids, and was the Easter bunny. It was really fun! I started work at about 930, and got off like around 5. I was crazy tired, and my sister made me walk around the mall with her to shop! It was so annoying. I bought myself a handbag, so I guess that was the plus of walking around the mall. I was just so frustrated and annoyed, I just wanted to leave and get out of there! I couldn't even go to bed because I knew I had loads of work to do before I get into my bed. Its Saturday night and i'm here typing my blogs online! Damn, what a LIFE! LOL...It okay, I don't mind, I don't go out and party anyways....

Crazy Week

This week has just been so crazy for me that I couldn't keep up with my blogs. I hardly can get on the computer because I don't have mine anymore. I hate not having my own laptop because I have to start using my dad's or one of my sibblings at home. It isn't fun at all. I have this crazy finance project due by Tuesday, and I just did some crazy ratio stuff. I actually calculated and understood how to calculate which came as a surprise to me. I haven't finished it yet, and I know I still have a lot to do, so I will end for the night and do my ratio calculations tomorrow!

People Acting Weird

There is one thing that sort of really pisses me off. People sometimes pretend to be something they aren't. There are many times when that happens, and it really gets to me. Lets say we are hanging with a bunch of friends. There is someone that you know doesn't talk a certain way. When they come to be around people, they start acting up and try to be something they are not. This happens a lot, and sometimes I do it without realizing as well. I guess it might be that when you are with certain people, you get into that environment and start talking like them which isn't always a bad thing, but sometimes we have to watch out because we can lose ourselves and become something that we aren't. I think what I'm trying to say is be cool but don't lose yourself and become something your not, and I speak for myself too, but I realized I really don't lose myself because of the surroundings I am in.

Getting Lost

I hate when I really need to get somewhere and I can't find directions to where I need to go. it drives me crazy because I know that the directions that mapquest is giving me is wrong and where I need to go is in the total opposite direction. It has happened a few times now, and I know they h ave the GPS out now, but I don't like those gadgets. They are very useful yes, but I rather just know where i'm going from the start. My dad is the type of guy who hates these gadgets but even he is starting to use them. My brother, in my opinion can't go a mile without a GPS. My dad and brother are so into these gadget things and it's funny because what did we do before all this technology? We had to ask people for directions and all that. It's funny, I really shouldn't be complaining about this since im in the supposedly new generation but it just gets me a bit aggrevated. LOL

The Weekend

Friday came and it was cool because we got out of class early which is always a nice thing. Class was lots of fun with Professor Kinsley. I think I have to prepare myself for this class. I haven't taken English in a few semesters so writing papers is going to take some getting used to again. I think English is a very creative class if you put your mind to it. I used to love English but I think I became lazy. I have finance as another class and I'm not very happy about it. I took accounting last session and dreaded taking it but I did pass it, thank GOD! I would hate taking that class over. I was doing some of my finance work and realized dammit, I got myself into the same crap. LOL. It's alright, I just need to get these classes done so I can graduate. I have 15 classes to take after this semester is over, and I'm hoping that will fly by. I just really hope to pass all my classes with good grades because the past couple semesters haven't been that great.

My contract

I Ambreen Anwar will not answer phone calls while in class. I will not come to class if I am sick. I will go on eCollege and do my posts. I will do all my assignments and will try my best to get an A on them. I will try my level best to do my blogs daily. I will throw out my trash if I bring something in the classroom to eat or drink.
