Summer Experience: Exploring The Area

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Today was a day with nothing..
I did not want to do anything..
I was not feeling the greatest when I woke up..
I hate headaches and bad mood; they keep coming to my life tough..

After I woke and was ready to eat breakfast, I went to prepare it in the kitchen..
The second bedroom door opened and closed..
It was ok, I did not really care or even looked to see who it was..
Who would it be beside our roommate!
She came out just a few minutes after that..
She told me that her boyfriend comes every weekend and stay in the apartment..
She also told me that she was not sure if he saw me or not..
That was it for me; that changed my mood for the rest of the day..
Not because her boyfriend did see me (that is why she came and talked to me)..
But because every weekend I have to choose between being stuck in my room, wearing my scarf the whole time, or just leaving the house..
I am not planning on staying in the house for that much time in the weekend..
But still, I was not prepared for that..

I almost did nothing today..
Watched OSU's graduation, and saw my friends graduating (that was the best part of the day)..
Talked to my family on Skype..
Organized my room finally..
It was driving me crazy..
And I went around to explore with my roommate..

We went walking so I can get the pass for public transportation, which did not work..
Then we just went around the area for about four hours..
Nothing specific, we just went around..

On the way back to our apartment, we talked about the education systems..
Education system in the US, in India, and in Saudi Arabia..
I have to say, India's school system is pretty hard..
They have two years of elementary school (= pre-school and kindergarten), 5 years of primary school, and finally 5 years of secondary school..
After that, they have 2 years of college or junior college..
Than they go to the university for their undergraduate, but to get in a good university, they have to do really well in junior college..

When we came back, I did not do that much..
I ate dinner, which we got from Burger King, which has vegetarian burgers; something I did not know about before..
We also watched Kung Fu Panda movie, which I like..
I will suggest everyone watching it..
Then it was laundry time and doing nothing..

I think I was really immersed in my thoughts because I was not doing anything, but finally going to sleep at 2 am..

That would not have happened if the future was not a mystery, and I did not have to write a paper about my life including the past and the future to how I die for one of my classes..

Friendly suggestion: if you are ever going to Phoenix, do not go at night if you do not know the area.. I have seen gun shops really close by where I was walking..
