“Running” is probably the word that would sum out these days for me. I feel like I’m running in all directions trying to make ends meet while running out of time on all fronts!
- I met a publisher who is willing to print the story of Layla! That’s great news, don’t ya think? There’s a trick though! The plan is to submit the draft to Ministry of Culture and Information to get authorization to print it after Eid inshallah. The publisher told me that it’s going to be a tough sale because my story contains “frowned upon” subjects even though I, personally, don’t think there’s anything objectionable! My hope is that I’ll be asked to “edit” some parts of the story only rather than having the story rejected as a whole.
- However, I am running out f time on editing! Turns out it’s such a difficult task and I don’t trust anyone else to do it! I need to be done with editing before Eid so I can deliver the finalized version to the publisher bt I’m not sure that is possible. Looks like I will need more time.
- My surgery rotation final is right after Eid! We come back to school on Saturday and my final is on Monday! I have a tremendous amount of studying to do and I”m worried I haven’t studied enough to get an A on this exam. So you see, I’m running out of time to study too!
- I’m also occupied these days with various volunteering activities which are taking mcuh of my time. I will try to cut back a little bit at least until I start my next rotation. They keep me running all the time!
- A friend once told me, “When you are trying to win someone’s heart, always remember that you are not the only one running the race” well isn’t that wise!
- Eid plans everyone?! Well I guess as usual we’ll be at Al-Durra the entire week! That’s our tradition!
WISH ME LUCK and PRAY FOR ME PLEASE!
ps. my plan to pray taraweeh everyday has failed
