Salaams to all of our readers, if anyone is still reading :) Today we are celebrating the birth anniversary of Sayyida Zainab AS and it is an honor to be here in Syria, in the close proximity to her tomb. kul 'aam wa antum bi khair iA! We had a day off today, ALhamd, lol, long time over due and really needed by us :) so we did the only thing students know how to do on a day off, we slept :) LOL, then we actually studied... haha.. we went to the Haram last night and it was amazing packed with people, it hasnt been this packed since the 40th of Imam Husein AS. It was nuts, but Alhamd. Today we had a bbq at our campus and all the teachers and their families came, we had some mushkaki, kabobs and chicken tika..lol. It was a good change to the everyday routine of school.
So for those keeping the countdown like we are, we only have 41 days left before we come back home.... will be definitely nice to come home, we were thinking the first thing we would like to do is go to the cemetery and pay respect to our father, and then relax and not have to worry about studying for a while..lol. Our arabic teacher said he will give us assignments over the summer so we dont forget our arabic, which was appreciated by all the students, cause he doesnt really have to do that. But then he said he would email us assignments every day.. and the entire class said no!!! LOL, we agreed to once a week which is much more doable.
One of the things we are looking forward to is food when we come back, ... some of the things we are looking to is: IHOP - International House of Pancakes...lol.. i know, we get pancakes here, but its not the same... There you get Pancakes, eggs, hasbrowns all for $5.99... WHAT!!! LOL, unless the price has gone up... we are also looking forward to Chinese Food, Red Lobster and ummm... cant think of anything else...LOL...
Anyways, time to get going, remember us in your prayers.. talk to you soon!!
