Biology is my Passion

Yesterday was just an awesome day. Like awesomely awesome. In the morning, I had to go somewhere with dad for some work. Then when it was done, he dropped me at school on his way back to office. I reached the school at around half past nine when I realized that none of my classmates had turned up to school. I was confused and texted them to ask if they would be coming for the biology class at 10’O clock. All of them replied in negative. At first I was angry because I was the only one there at school from my class but later on I decided to leave school early. I waited for some time, played a couple of table tennis matches and then left for home.
Reaching home at around 11’O clock, I opened up my computer to find a twitter friend online on MSN. Like, I have never talked to him so early in the morning because either I was in school or sleeping by this time. So I just grabbed some biscuits from the cabinet and came upstairs to talk to him. We talked for around 10 minutes when something interesting struck my mind.
“Hey. We have been talking like since so long but never got a chance to do a voice chat. Are you free? Can we do it today?” was what I said. And he was like, “Okay sure. Why not.” I was overwhelmed to hear this. So I just quickly went up to my closet and came back with the mic and headphones. Yes, I now keep my mic and headphones inside my closet coz just last week mum scolded me for keeping it on the table because it looked so messy then. Infact she ordered me to keep my table neat and clean and to keep all the books on the shelf when I am done with studying. I mean, this is not what I used to do before. All the books that I was using while studying used to be on my table, and they remained like that for weeks. However, times have changed now. Mom’s orders are the top-most priority so well I will try to keep my table organized and clean from now on.
So well back to the point again. We started off with the voice chat and it went pretty good Alhamdolillah. We talked about various things. We shared our stories from school and the extra-curricular activities we are taking part in. We also discussed about sending in university applications. It was such a great experience. And my favorite part was when we talked about biology. I mean biology can be boring at times and its difficult too when you just have to rote-learn the various terms used there, but on a whole, it is amazing because it just shows us how complex the human body is and how perfectly Allah is running our biological system without us having to do any conscious effort for all those processes going on inside our body. Biology shows us the greatness of Allah and has resulted in me being more closer to Islam than ever Alhamdolillah.
And this love for biology that I have, I would like to give half of the credit to my awesome biology teacher, Sir Javed. He has been an inspiration for me in all these years and I personally think he has been the best biology teacher who has ever taught me. Like seriously. His unique style of teaching, his funny way of pronouncing specific words, his particular pathan accent, and the way he scolds us. All these things have just attracted me towards him. It wont be wrong if I say that I love him!
So umm….we talked for around an hour that day when I noticed that the time for electricity breakdown was near. So I just bade farewell to him, said thanks for the awesome conversation, and went offline.
So friends, This is all for today. I totally enjoyed yesterday’s events. Everything went so fine and perfect. I hope everything in life just moves on as smoothly as it did yesterday. Life, I think, is better when you start expecting less from it. You enjoy your life more when you are happy with whatever you have, no matter how little it is. I think I did the same and now I am enjoying what life is offering me. Goodbye for now people. I hope to blog really soon again. Take Care!

Long time no see?

Hey guys. How have you all been? Its been such a long time since I last blogged. I know I haven’t been regular here and I am extremely sorry for that. Well, reasons? You want me to give reasons why I didn't blog in this period of 3 months? Ermm…as if I am gonna tell you! Hah. Actually, a lot of things have been going on in my life recently which have kept me busy and so I dint really get time to blog. I mean, I wasn’t that busy but still all these things had made my mind come to a halt.
And I thought that even if I blog I wont make sense. Seriously, I was going insane in those days. Thankfully, I have my brain back now so its all okay so far.
So well. Happy with the reasons are you? No? Haha. Who cares about you. Well, lets move on. So I will just give you a glimpse of what has been happening in these past months. Erm….so school started in August  and it has been driving me crazy since then. A2 is even harder than AS as suspected, with workload being twice as much as the previous year. Maths and Biology have been pretty okay but physics and chemistry. What the hell has happened to physics and chemistry I just don’t understand. They used to be so easy a year back and now see. I don’t even know what this man teaches in the physics class. I simply attend all of his classes, copy whatever he teaches and just rote-learn all what he has taught. And finally end up forgetting all that I learned. Hah.
I mean, I just cant bear this. I need some good teacher to teach me physics. To make me understand what they actually mean by all those definitions and theories and laws they tell in the class. Its pathetic. Really.
Well, enough ranting about studies. Now let me tell you about the inter-school table tennis competition that took place in our school a month back. I took part in it and  played well in the preliminary rounds but sadly after successfully winning 3 matches, I lost in the quarter-finals. It wasn’t a tough match. Really! I made some major mistakes and they proved to be fateful for me. Well, I just have this habit of being pessimistic all this time when I lose. Gaah. Anyways, let me tell you the positive outcome of this competition. Owing to my good performance in those matches, the sports teacher offered me a place in the school’s table tennis team. It was a moment of pride for me to accept it. That day I came back home and told all this to mom and dad and they were so happy to hear this. I am glad I made it into the school’s team. Its like, first milestone achieved and now more to come on.
Oh and I just remembered one more reason as to why I wasn’t blogging these days. Its like, recently I was phobic that I wont publish those posts of mine which aren’t well-written so like I used to write posts, re-read them after I was done with writing them and they seemed so bad to me that I actually ended up deleting them. Well, this is not gonna happen from now on Inshallah. I will just write stuff, edit it as per my needs, and will publish it no matter what anyone thinks of me and my writing skills. I don’t care about you. YES. I don’t.
Haha. I just noticed this is turning out to be one long post. I bet I have never written like that ever. This is miraculous. Haha. I will end it here I guess. Gotta go study now. Take care. Bye.
