This week, I will say it was just okay. It was mostly doing homework and being with family other than that nothing interesting. Sometimes I wish my life was a little more exciting but it’s okay. I did go biking two or three times this week with my brother and cousin. I actually started to workout again and not eat a lot, but that only worked out for two days. I ended up having Popeyes and McDonalds. I just have been very lazy lately and do not feel like doing much. My siblings and I sometimes go on night drives where we just drive around, get something to eat and that is something I look forward to a lot. We actually got some bad news this week as well, both my grandparents have been very sick and ended up having surgery. They are in Pakistan and there was nothing much we could do but pray for them. My parents have been very tensed about it which is understandable, but seeing my dad upset just breaks my heart. Both of my grandparents are fine now, thank god. It was actually my older sister’s birthday today. My twin, Muhammad and I went to get pizza for the family and he was driving. I was scared for my life, he is not a bad driver but I love messing with him. Overall, it was a calm week.

This week has not been very interesting. It was actually very boring. This week just involved a lot of studying and school. It was also raining almost every day, due to which I had to cancel my plans. It sucked a lot. I had a midterm for African art history, it went very well. I went out to get gyro for my family, that was kind of fun. Mostly because I got to leave the house for a while. I had my Quran class, my twin brother and I went to the mosque on Tuesday and Thursday and took our class. That also went very well. On Tuesday, it was raining so much and I forgot the car keys in my dad’s car and we had to walk to the mosque in the pouring rain. It was not fun. This week did not consist of much to be very honest. Well, my uncle came from Brooklyn. At first I was kind of really mad because he said he will be here by 6:30pm but then called saying he will come at 10:30pm. I was very hungry and ended up eating without them, my mom didn’t let me eat much because “it looks bad” so that kind of got me really mad because like I said before I love food. I ended up forgiving him only because he brought Oreo cheesecake. Yesterday, my twin brother and I decided to give our 8 year old brother a haircut. Lets just say it did not go the way we wanted it to. I was using scissors taking my time cutting his hair, my twin got really lazy and buzzed all his hair off. It was the funniest thing ever. My brother is so mad at us but eventually he will get over it. He isn’t really bald but my twin chopped off almost all of his hair.

This week started off with my nephew’s birthday. We all decided to go to Hibachi in New Jersey to celebrate his birthday. We are all big foodies! We love food. It was a lot of fun, it was a very nice family time everyone enjoyed it a lot. It was also raining all day, the rain didn’t stop for a single minute. It was also movie night, something my cousins and siblings do once a week. We choose a movie, order food and all sit together and watch a movie. Honestly, it feels really good being around family. The rest of the week was just homework, and helping out my dad. I went biking with my brother and cousin again. My wisdom tooth started to hurt again and it was causing a lot of pain and I was unable to eat. I am afraid to get it removed because my brother got his removed last year and they ended up taking all four of his wisdom teeth out and his face was swollen like a balloon. That terrified me forever. I’d rather take the pain for a week than go through that. I played the PS4 with my friends after a long time. I used to play for hours before but lately I have not been playing a lot. It felt good playing after a while. I finished all my homework for the week again, caught up on some more homework due for the following week. I sometimes like to be ahead on my assignments to feel less stressed. That was almost all for this week. I hope next week is more fun!.

This week started off by me being sick. I had a cold/flu, I was scared that it might be corona but it wasn’t. I was sick for three days. I didn’t even go to one of my classes because I felt super weak and unable to get up. I finally started feeling better on Wednesday, that was the first day I went outside to bike with my brother and cousin. It was a lot of fun. We also went to Dunkin Donuts and got ourselves our favorite drinks/snacks. My favorite drink from Dunkin is a medium iced caramel latte, half milk and half cream with whipped cream. It was very nice out on Wednesday as well which made everything a lot better as well. I was on time with submitting all my assignments that made me very happy and stress free. On Thursdays, I have to go to the Mosque because I take a Quran class over there which I enjoy a lot. My teacher is the best. He is very funny. It’s a lot of fun and I get to learn a lot more about my religion and I love it. Friday’s are my favorite because I have no classes and it is also Jumma (holy day) we pray Jumma in the Mosque, wearing our traditional clothes. I mostly go to play ball on Fridays but this Friday I wasn’t able to because last minute family stuff came up. I had work on Saturday, and I loved it so much! I worked after so long so it felt very good to be back at work. I got home around 8:30 pm I showered, and ate. I went out with my siblings to McDonalds and got some more stuff to eat. My wisdom tooth is coming out and it hurts every time I try to eat something. I got myself some ice cream and a smoothie to help me fill my stomach since I was not able to chew on anything. That was my week.

This week started off very hectic but gradually as everyday went by the week was getting better. I had a lot of tasks to do this week and it overwhelmed me a lot. In order to keep everything balanced I decided to make a schedule on google docs about all the homework I had due. Once I made that schedule, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I felt more organized and relaxed. I finished all my homework for the week. I went biking almost everyday with my brother and cousin, that is something that we love doing together. It makes us all feel a little better. A break time from home and school work, some fresh air which is very well needed after having classes all day long. As the weekend approached my mom had dinner at our house for all of our family friends that live close by to us. We had to do a lot of pre cleaning before everyone came, I ran a lot of errands for my mom. My mom cooked a lot of delicious food. When everyone came over, we had a lot of fun. We played games, watched some YouTube, and after we all ate; we decided to watch a movie with all the kids. Everyone left around 12:30 am and we had to clean up after the dinner. I was exhausted after that and it was as if I was feeling sick. I was mocking my brother for having a messed up back the whole day just for me to wake up with a bad back and a cold. Karma I guess. It was quite a week.
