This time last year, i was just settling down at my new college, i was organising (what i thought would be ) a small community talent show, i was still thinking about Shaaf*, i was REALLY close with Ell... My sister and her boyfriend and best mate had moved to London...
Now? I'm just carrying on with college work, trying to figure out WHAT i want to actually do at uni... and fasting?....
I've managed to pack in sooo much in one year, that would usually take a coupla years for most people..
I joined Millenium volunteers and nearly clocked up 200 hours from just doing a few local events...
I've presented for 2 events, i've done the funding and the bulk of the organising for the talent show that i mentioned above... i've done stage management for a HUGE outdoor event in my local area, i've co-produced and co-presented a breakfast radio show...i've even helped my little sisters' class end of year leavers assembly/school production...
and somewhere inbetween that i met a guy that i can only dream of, i celebrated my 18th birthday, i celebrated Mimi and Mumu's 18ths as well, i've been out clubbing once, i had a job at specsavers and i even passed all of my AS levels...
I've had one of the (if not THE) most busiest years of my life...
and i kind of owe it to two things...
The talent show... and me failing my science AS levels...
Had i not failed, i wouldn't have changed college and subjects and i wouldn't have been more determined to do extra curricular activities... which was WHY i put in soo much effort into the talent show.. making it the BIGGEST asian event in my city... (excluding the summer festival)...
the talent show was my stepping stone to confidence, organisation and a great social life...
although now i'm not likin the idea of MOST asians knowin me...
but... i'm in a place where lots of 23 year olds would LOVE to be in (bar the going to college and sloggin away at A levels )...
and now i'm dying of boredom, and it's only been a month i been back...
i need some sort of extra curricular activity to keep my daily life from being routine....
i'm gonna apply for a voluntary mentor scheme for black and asian youths... to keep them outta trouble really...
i just hope this year goes as quickly, if not quicker, than the year just gone....
(sorry for my non grammar and punctuation today... i'm SHATTTEREDDD!!!)
Prayer for today:
Allah, please keep all evil spirits, shaytaans and jinns away from me. Please stop them from affecting me anymore, please Allah. Ameen...
