I haven’t blogged in a while, and the only reason I am doing so now is because I have an essay that I need to be writing. All it takes is some work needing to be avoided to get me into the blogging mood!
The essay is about the causes for the obsession with brand names among people of today’s society. After some research, I’ve found that the main cause is the need to belong to a group, the need to fit in with all the other people wearing Nike shoes or in a Hollister t-shirt.
My weekends have been fun alhamdullilah, been catching up with a close friend of mine- we take road trips around the city. Being lost in downtown Dubai for 3 hours, with an imbecile GPS, really creates great bonding opportunities. It also is a great trigger for insanity.
I’m choosing my courses for next semester, so excited about them! Writing, biology, psychology, world cultures, sociology, english lit… All so incredible! There’s a downside, though. I also need to do… Statistics. I think I’m ready to die now, thanks. I did it in school, found it confusing, and hated it. I hear at uni it’s ridiculously tough. Gulp.
I can’t believe this semester is nearly over, our final exams are just around the corner! 1/8 of my university education is almost over! What?! Slow down, life!
The weather nowadays is absolutely magical. There’s a constant beautiful breeze, sunshine, bright blue skies, fluffy clouds, pastel colored sunsets and sunrises. I really hope it stays like this for a while.
There’s a new Tim Burton remake of “Alice in Wonderland”, I literally squealed in delight when I heard about it. The cast is brilliant, I’m so excited to see it!
