It's getting cooler. When I walk to school in the morning, I can't stop staring at the sand. The light here is different. You know how in the morning, the light is pale blue? Here, it is bright orange. There is no pale blue light at all, at any time.

Yesterday, I made chicken. You want to know that? Yes. Yes, you do. I argued with my teacher the whole lesson (she keeps using the WHOLE. PAGE. for stars to say how great I am!)(WASTE.) and tomorrow we have a midsessional. Which they insist on calling midterms. Huh. I'm planning on a post-exam raid to Zakia's ba'da al imtihaan (POST-TEST)(see how much I learn?) and there will be merriment and stuff.

I am very tired. Being a mama is not something I am turning out to be good at. Did I mention everyone in my class is married? They're all pretty much my age, and they are so surprised that I'm not. It's odd to be the odd one out! In a left-out kind of way! XD XD

I miss my mama.
