The Not So Usual

It's been a long time since I last updated.. I haven't been feeling very chatty and not much was happening (other than few fights, and a fall on the stairs, and well, my lips swelled very badly.. but that's the usual!).

Last week, the spring break started, but this year is different in that the mid-year exams will be after the break for our college and few other colleges, which means I'll have to spend most of the so-called-break studying.
I've been planning to start studying on Thursday, two days ago, but I caught the flu and had fever, and well, I thought I was going to die.. but here I am writing a post, and obviously, alive! (I know that I will eventually die but that's not the point!) I'm still not fully recovered though.
I wish I can get myself to be more serious about studying, but being 15 days from now, it's actually not very easy.

Last week was a busy week, we went to Erbil with my uncle and my aunt's families, we visited many houses in Mosul, and attended a wedding where I met many friends..

Erbil was nice, clean and relatively advanced.. We had much fun and I LOVED the food.

I bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ18 from Erbil. I've been reading and educating myself about photography ever since but I'm going to have to switch my attention to studying now..

The day before yesterday a car bomb exploded close to our house, but we were warned and expected it so there were little damages (a single window). No human losses in the neighborhood, thank God.

Oh, I almost forgot what this post was supposed to be about :)

Yesterday I finally got to vote on something without having a fight (that something being Ninevah's Provincial Council's Elections). I was feeling dizzy, and it pretty much felt like going to an exam without studying, and I proved quite dumb at the voting room: I was about to put my ID in the voting box instead of the voting card, I didn't know which finger to put in the ink pot, and finally, I almost took the voting pen home! but I FINALLY DID IT and voted! Now I have a violet finger and it shocks me every time I see it, until I remember..

Problem is, there has to be a closure.. and wish me luck is the easiest.. so..



WISH ME LUCK!
