An Apology from a (terribly) Lazy Blogger

 I know. I know.

It's been nearly nine months since my last post.

And then I wonder why I don't have enough readers.

I wish I could get away by saying that I've been incredibly busy, but I know bloggers like Nida who, despite their taxing schedules, never forsake their blogs.

I should really try and follow their examples.

I suppose I ought to shed some light on what I've been up to the past few months so I'll give you a brief summary of that below:

After giving my SATs, I had my MOCKs in March followed by my final CIE A Level examinations. Thereafter began a summer 'vacation' that promised to test the limits of my endurance by showering me with a multitude of university entrance exams. Since I took both Math and Biology in A Levels, I applied to both Engineering and Medical universities.

I will not bore you with the drab details of it but I assure you that the months of July, August and September were probably the most emotionally grueling days of my life. It felt as if my entire future hung in a delicate balance. It made me wonder at times why I was getting so worked up over university admissions although there are much higher things in life to strive for. But all I did was keep my head down and doggedly push on ahead.

This ordeal finally ended on the 23rd September when the most dreaded of entry tests-the MCAT- was held. Alhamdulillah, it went a lot better than I expected (considering that I had to rote learn books of a completely different board in two months)

Tomorrow, the merit lists are finally going to be uploaded and we'll find out which medical college we made it into. I hope everything goes well, In sha Allah.

I'll keep you updated!

The End of AS Level Examinations

Hey everyone!

I'm back, and after quite a long absence too if I do say so myself. I had my last exam today: Physics P1. It's basically an MCQ paper. I wasn't feeling very well today but the exam managed to go well Alhamdulillah.

Anyway, now that the summer vacation has officially started I can carry out all the plans that I've made. I intend to buy loads of books (and read them of course) I'm also going to be preparing for A2 as well as various entrance exams and tests. On top of that, I've had a random spark of creativity and I've decided to try out my skills as a seamstress by making one of these gorgeous Gothic Lolita dresses. They're extremely complicated to make and the beauty of the entire dress depends upon the puffiness of the skirt which requires a decent petticoat. And from what I
have read so far on the internet, they take a considerable time to make. 

I suppose I should mention here that the only fancy dresses I've ever made have been for Barbie dolls and even that was years ago. My mom is a little skeptical about this venture of mine but I'm really eager to try. At the very least, I'll end up learning something.

So basically, I've got some busy months ahead. I hope I manage to use this time constructively. I need to study a lot too as the following academic year will practically affect my whole future professional life so wish me luck.
