friday 23rd feb

today was a long and frustating day, i am happy but i am so upset that i cant log into my blog at shuwaib.blogspot.com

anyways, its ok, i have a new one now and hopefully people will catch on and switch to the darker side...

so today, what happened..

well, since my parents are here, we went to visit some cousins of mine who live in mohammadpur. i havent seen these guys in a decade and it was nice to see them and boy have they grown. they are all busy studying away and i am quite proud of the dilligence they have.

after visiting them, we went to bashundhara shopping centre. this is regarded as the jewel in the bangladesh crown of shopping, but i found it a place with no personality and dull so hence no pictures of it. maybe next time i go i will snap away but not today.

afterwards, we headed to dhaka university, we were going to go to the book mela, but the line was massive so we didnt. instead we went to kazi narul's grave which is opposite the art dept of dhaka uni. he is a very famous figure to many people and touched them in someway in their lives.

we then headed to the art department for a wander and we were watching students doing still life drawing. they were pretty good but i dont want to sound horrible, but does a country like bangladesh really need artists??? i think they need other professionals more. but that is my personal oppinion.

we then went home cause we were all tired and i was getting more and more tense because i knew today was the day my results would be published for my final exams. so i had a nap for an hour and then logged on. i was convinced i had failed and that the shock wouldnt be great but just a reconfirmed upset emotion.

anyways, i logged on and bang!!! i had passed my exams, maybe not with straight As but never the less, i am now 99% a doctor!! just need to do the elective report and SSM coursework and i am then going to graduate as a doctor. i am glad and honestly, i am shocked because i have low self confidence when it comes to exams now, especially after my 1st and 2nd year where all that partying led me to retake in the summer holidays.. but i have never had to repeat an academic year so i should have some confidence in me now.

we then headed to a bengali restaurant, we were going to go to the most expensive one in dhaka but we couldnt even get a cab!! the food was too much and i gave what we couldn’t finish to a homeless boy.

anyways, im gonna sleep now so catch you later!!
