How I did it
It made me
flabbergasted 
How I did it: I prayed lots and when I met my now- husband, I sort of knew that something would happen. And he got a friend to speak to me, we met up and decided we liked each other, he met my family, I met his... six months after meeting we got married! Alhamdulillah, all praise is due to Allah. Read how I did it…
It made me
surprised
How I did it: I put my head down and wrote essays for the rubbish compulsory modules I had to do . Rather stupidly I didn't use my supervisor at all for my final dissertation, partly cos I didn't write anything until two weeks before hand in, partly because even though she knew a lot, she didn't necessarily know much about what I was researching. But it all worked out ok in the end. Read how I did it…
It made me
settled 
How I did it: I moved back to the city where they were all living after I finished my degree... it was a minimal effort on my part really. Now we all meet up once a week most weeks and its just like being in school again but without all the rubbish teenage angst that comes with it. Read how I did it…

Another year, another Arabic class… started one a few weeks ago. I thought it would be beneficial to start from the beginning but I’m bored as anything and can’t wait for it to be over so I join the intermediate class and finally learn something new about the language for the first time in three years. Still hoping to benefit from just being there with good intentions though, God willing.
3rd test booked

... for April. Come on! SHAMEFULLY I realise I’ve been doing this whole learning to drive thing, admittedly a bit on and off, but still, for over two years. Its getting ridiculous. Well, I am a quitter but my dad certainly isn’t and will not let me forget this until I’ve passed my test so let’s do it :)
