Back to school ...

I have been back to school for about three weeks. Though, I just didn't feel like posting. Anyways, this post is going to be pretty long. get your coffees!

I came back to TX on a Sat. night. Since I don’t have a place, I stayed with Ashraf in San Marcos. On Sunday, I stayed at his restaurant, because I couldn't do anything! Monday morning, I went to Austin. I had plenty of errands to take care of, like registering my car! I took care of them, and I was back to San Marcos before Maghrib. Tuesday morning, I was on my way to Austin, now to pick up my apartments keys, and officially move in my place. Although, I didn’t have furniture, but I had a real tough day. All my stuff was in my cars, Latifah and my old 'baby.' I got all my stuff from the Acura, drove to the Masjid, took the other car back to my place. Unloaded everything, then walked back to get the Acura. I moved in and settled down. By Friday, I had already bought a Futon, desk, chair, and bunch of shelf racks, all off of Craigslist. Gotta love Craigslist!

That weekend, Mofat came to Austin. He arrived late on Friday but I was dead tired. On Sat. we met up and went to lunch at Olive Garden. Then after that, we went to San Marcos to visit Ashraf. By 9.30 we were on our way to Austin to see Superman on IMAX. The museum screwed up our night! We couldn't get in because it was 2 mins past 10! GOOSSHHHH. Then we just chilled for the rest of the night. Then Mofat left on Sunday afternoon.

Next weekend, Mofat and Andre came down to Austin on Friday. I and Mofat had lunch at Joy East. Then we met up with Andre at the Halaqa, don’t ask where Andre was between Juma and the halaqa! After the Halaqa, Mofat and Andre wanted to play pool at the Sixth. Now, I didn't really want to go. But I was not really much against it. I knew that I'm under 21, and I can't get in most places there. But hey, I honestly don’t want to be in a place that needs you to be above 21 to get in. So, I amazingly realized my age right when were there. We walked up and down the street coupla times, ran into ppl we know. Then went to play pool in the union. On sat morning, we had breakfast with Andre then he left to Dallas. I and Mofat spent the day working out, eating, and then watched Superman. (we were at the theatre at 9.30!) Sunday, had lunch at Fudruckers, then me and mofat, each had stuff to do. Mofat left on monday morning.

As for School, I was registered for 16 hrs. Fluids, its lab, Communication, Space D, Struc. A, Circuits. By the first Space D class, I dropped it and added BioMechanics of human movement. The Space D prof. is really good teacher, but that class is VERY time consuming, and its hws are ridiculous LONG. Besides, I don’t care about learning it; it is space! So far, most of my classes are alright. The only class that is bothering me is Circuits. The prof. is really bad, which makes the class a self-study class.

Coming back from to school is kind of weird. I had forgotten plenty of my calculus and physics, which makes my classes harder on me. The past two days, I found out that I lost my attention. Two HWs, I had an algebra problem in each problem. I needa do something about it. Another side to coming back is that I'm behind all my friends, and I don't have them in any of my classes. It's sad, I'm going to classes not knowing anyone there. Anyways, one must meet new ppl. It also showed me what kinna relations are there in college. It's all empty benift-based relations.

I got a job tutoring basic Engineering classes. Not a lot of work, it is up to me to work 2-8 hrs every week. Now, I have been talking with a prof. to give me a job in his research since the summer. I went to him today, and he finally gave me the job. I'm going to start with 5 hrs a week. Inshallah this job is going to be great. Though, he doesn't seem very serious about it.

For some reasons, I'm still going downhill in the antisocial mood curve. I dunno why, though. I know that it is unanimously agreed that no social life is BAD. But first of all, I will inshallah have enough things to fill my time. Second, I think I need it. I meen it looks like a natural life circle that I have to go through it. I hope so, otherwise, I will end some mysterious place. Also, I want to get my mind in one direction, get it figured out and then I will put that dimension on Autopilot, and pilot some other dimension! I dunno how bad it will be, and I dunno how it will go, but inshallah all will go well. That is said, I have to admit that social relations are harder to figure out than flying supersonic without a sonic boom! What amazes me more, is my special ability to see what I want to see, even though that I kinna see the real picture. I think it is not just me, it's with everyone. People see what they want to see, what they need to see.

Oh, and I'm getting back to flying soon inshallah.

That's all for now folks.
