Enrichment Week

What have I been up to which stops me from posting regularly?

Well, this week was enrichment week where we were off school timetable and went about multiple activities. I was more than busy - everyday had me coming home and crashing just anywhere and anyhow.

Monday: 
Wasn't spent at school, I spent the day exploring London essentially, and visiting the science Musuem to find out more about computer science. I realised that London is large, definitely a place I want to explore this summer.


Tuesday:


Wednesday:
AS booklet deadline. 1st draft personal statement deadline. Coursework Deadline. So basically deadlines. The afternoon also brought about Prize Giving where I won an award for Computer Science (Woop!)



Thursday:
International Day. We had several workshops based on subjects across the curriculum but focused on the international concepts. I couldn't say I didn't enjoy my time today especially with the Street Art activity at the end. We had to draft street art before actually getting to spray, but by the time we got to the wall we just decided to have fun and try and make our mark. In need of a new artistic hobby? I recommend street art ( in legal areas only though).




Friday:
Friday was Eid! Eid was busy, just like the rest of the week, but was nice in the sense that I did see friends and family even if it was for a short while. I think I ate more on Eid than I did the rest of the week, but hey, that's part of celebration right?


After coming home on Eid day, I literally collapsed onto the sofa. I had loads of things to blog about so I decided to put them in one post to try and give you a flavour of what I am up to. Hopefully my summer will be filled with activities, experiences and lessons that gives my a lot to blog about too.

Watch this space!

This tea party is cancelled.

Did you see me "lash out" on my socials the other day? Or to be honest I didn't lash out per se, I just drew a thick, black in my life and was quite openly expressive about it. I got to a point where I told myself enough was enough, too many kettles had been boiled, too many teabags have brewed for too long, the two, three sugars added have dissolved and been stirred and sipped out of me but I am not a mug. 1) I’ve fully deeped I’m not a mug. I can tolerate things, be nice, be a bigger (yet always small) person (lol) but I have to draw linesss — S. (@SawdaSays) September 25, 2017 Now obviously, as the good Muslim I strive to be I do things for the sake of Allah, and in doing so technically I can't lose right? However, I can unfortunately get to a point where I am drained, strained and not at peace which is where I feel I'm at and don't want to be at anymore. I've come to  a point of re-realisation. It's not that I thought I was a pie

International Women's Day

Image
As a young woman, I feel that a day like this is absolutely necessary in a global society. In the East and the West. women endure a constant battle to be valued appropriately and to be treated right, and today, the 8th March is the day that all the work that has been done is celebrated as women (and supportive men) stand up and show the world what we're really about. I'm also glad to see the lack of discrimination in race and religion when celebrating the achievements of what we've done for the world. It's good to see the unity of femininity , all for a great cause. Below are just a few inspiration women. Oprah Winfrey, this lady...  Rosa Parks: Standing up - or correctly: sitting down for what she believed in William sisters changed the game (-of tennis- quite literally)!

Ramadan Week 1

Image
(I just want to start of this post by saying that I do realise that week one has passed, but being busy has meant that I posted this late...apologies!) I knew I'd be tired, but I didn't imagine I'd be so busy and so drained! I thought that post-exams meant I would be free, and will have plenty of time to focus on several things but...I was too wrong! The biggest thing this month for me however, would have to be concentrating on my fasting. Not many people remember or even realise that fasting in Islam is not just meant to be for the sake of being hungry but to increase 'Taqwa' - a sense of God-consciousness. I wouldn't say that it has been easy or I have been perfect but I can say I have been trying, and my empty stomach does remind me. Ramadan has also made me realise that in this country at least we have SO MUCH food, an excess even. I have managed to collect snacks almost every day from my friends to eat later, even though I know that I have a consiste
