I went home after our last class and I told my parents they might cancel our face to face classes and my make them online classes. my mom was thrilled she was like I can do all the house work from now on -_- my dad was was like okay good so I don’t need to buy you a metro card any more -_- I was like this is not what I thought you guys were gonna say.however I was actually happy that they canceled them because ramadan is right around the corner and I was worried how I was gonna deal with staying up late. for those of you who down know what ramadan is, we fast from 4am to 8pm but we have this looooong prayer at the mosque an hour after “Iftar” breaking our fast. we basically finish at 11. with all of this and 8 am classes the whole week I did not know how I was gonna pull thru . so when they announced classes were canceled I was relieved.
with this corona virus spreading by the minute is getting overwhelming since school stopped Ive been out almost every single day and so far I haven’t seen people dropping in the middle of the road and none that look like they had the virus symptoms. so I don’t know where these people are lol its not like I want them to so I can see them or anything but I’m just saying how it is near my house. when they announced that all stores were closing I was panicking but then I ready that deliveries were still open, as long as Starbucks is open then I have no problem with that. you can tell that Im not worried about this virus I don’t know why but Im just not my older brother is though he checks if temperature every hour. my aunt too she has the news on alerts popping up every second driving her crazy I told my self heel no I will not be like that Im gonna be cautious yeah but if its meant to be then its meant to be. anyways so I just finished my first online class now I’m just chilling drinking my caramel ribbon crunch from Starbucks while waiting for my parents to wake up.=)
Caramel Ribbon Crunch…what an amazing detail, Raghda.
Your parents’ behavior made me smile!
As for Ramadan, I’ve taught classes during it, and I have noticed that the students have to be sooo strong, and they always pull through. I try to be sensitive about tests and such during that holiday; it is good to get a more detailed description of it, as you give, so I can be more informed.
Also: your mention of Starbucks also made me smile. We all have that one thing (or more) that makes us feel like things are okay. Now, can you enlighten me: how is it that people like those Starbucks drinks, anyway? I have never understood.
I don’t know honestly maybe they don’t and just go for fun just cuz its popular my mom tells me she hates their hot coffee yet I still go buy it for her in the morning
-_- but me I usually order one of my favorite drinks ribbon crunch , strawberry acie and for a seasonal drink is caramel brûlée so I think just keep ordering the drinks until u find the one that speaks to u lol
Ha! I guess I have not been listening to Starbucks. : – )
Yeah I remember telling you I don’t know how ramadan is going to be since its during school time and next thing you know, classes are at home. But now with the whole virus shutting down mosques, I can tell ramadan is going to be different this year :/
I know right I wait the whole year ramadan to get to go to the masque and stay till 1am and now =( I can’t idk what I’m gonna do I wish they open by then
i was excited for staying home for ramadan too because one of my classes was at night around 7:30. I’m afraid it might not be the same as last years since they might close down the Masjid’s and there won’t be people going out anymore. However i am excited to spend time with my family.
