Allahu 'aalam..
I haven’t updated or even bothered to update for more than a week now, mostly couse I have nothing to say, that wouldn’t be a complaint of some sort, and secondly because I’ve been trying to pay more attention to my schoolwork and whenever I update I end up updating again etc..
The past week has been one of those not so good weeks, but alhamdulilah. Same daily drag, get up, help, do schoolwork, get into fights, make stupid mistakes, sleep to little etc. Added to everything, I was reallyyy sick for a few days, alhamdulilah now Im better now.. but like for the past almost month I’ve had this fever that doesn’t want to go away, sometimes its ok and other times it goes up really high and I get a headache and start feeling really sick.. khairan inshaAllah..
My dad finally made an effort to get in touch with some of the Muslims up in Washington. It seems that there is at least two masjid in Tri-cities (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland), but I know there is at least one other one. One of them seems to be a rather small musalah, when my dad called it up a brother answered him, the imam, and he told him that he was up in Bellevue (seattle) and stuff.. My dad told him he was from Corvallis and I heard the akh go “YOU KNOW SHAYKH AWAD” hehe.. that happened with just about everyone else my dad called.
The other masjid is a bigger islaamic center, if you call it you get this message “Welcome to the islaamic center of Tri-Cities, Eid will be Sunday inshaAllah. Salaah starts at 9. There will be an eid dinner Sunday night, we hope you join us” lol.. After a while my dad got ahold of a few brothers from there, it seems like the community is okayish.. Allahu ‘aalam. InshaAllah we are going to go on Sunday, couse that’s the day they have things going on, Sunday school, and a lecture or something.. other than that the masjid is open at juma’ and isha’ and if anyone comes for the other salaahs they open it..
InshaAllah Friday we are going to go down to Corvallis, if it doesn’t snow. My dad took Friday off and was planning on going down for the weekend, but then he realized he had to be back up here Saturday so we are going to leave here after fajr get there by juma’, then leave there after isha’ and the dars and come back by like 2am. I was actually surprised that my dad agreed to do that, and didn’t just call off the whole thing, but I can tell he really misses Corvallis and all the ‘amus because when we were down there he would see them every week, and now he doesn’t so he feels it more.
I miss Corvallis, I miss it a lot. I want to go back so bad, but khair inshaAllah. Abu Abdul Qudoos has an internship on the coast during winter break, and Umm Abdul Qudoos wanted me mama and my sis to spend at least one of the weeks with her, but I don’t think baba would agree. I told my mom that I wanted to go spend all of winter break with her, but she pretty much said “no a girl shouldn’t stay out of her families house alone, especially for that amount of time” : (. In a way I guess I agree, and I know that my parents never let me spend the night out and stuff before, but this is different. I think my mom might agree, but Allahu ‘aalam about my dad.
One thing that’s kinda making me just shut up and listen to what my mom said, is that I really need to spend winter break working on my studies. I have 4 more classes to finish this semester, and inshaAllah I know I can finish them, but I cant concentrate on my work. : (. All I have left is a final in social studies, a final research paper (10+ pages) in English, 6 units of psychology, and a lot of career learning assignments. I’m not worried about the first two, and psychology if I spent a week on it working non stop I could finish inshaAllah, also the type of class it is I could work on it even after the semester ends without penalty, the one class im having problems with is Career learning, and its not because its hard its because I have problems with the teacher. Every class I’ve done bad in was because I had problems with the teacher. I dropped bio, couse I couldn’t stand the teacher. I got a bad grade in algebra couse the teacher was a racist that failed all 5 muslims in the class, and I failed web design because I didn’t do my final project since he wouldn’t let me do it on Islam, other than that I haven’t had problems alhamdulilah.
There is also something else, something that I reallllyy hope happens.. but Allahu ‘aalam. In order for it to happen this year, it will take a lot of work on my part, and just for things to work out. If it does happen I have to finish all my classes in a months time, because if I don’t then that means I’ll fail all the classes and pretty much all the work I’ve done the past year and some will be wasted. And instead of 4 more classes next semester I’d have to do 8+ : (. But even if it means risking that, I still think Id want to go if everything else works out.. I just don’t know if my parents would let me :/ Allahu ‘aalam..
