I mentioned it before during IRC but I have no idea what I want to do in terms of a degree right now so I'm not in the beeest place in that regard. I know it's not Computer Science, which sucks considering how much of my life I threw at it, but, whatever. Talking with my Therapist has been nice, especially because my decision stems from a LOT of baggage from earlier in my life that I needed to talk out with someone anyways. Going to see apparently our school's very best Advisor later this week, just to consider my options. I don't actually feel bad, though. Recognizing that I don't want to do this has made me much, much happier, even if it changes things for me. And other than that, things are pretty good. Super Smash Bros. comes out on Friday (HYPE), I love my current job, I plan on volunteering with my College Radio soon, and it is Eid-Al-Fitr, which means I get to fast on Friday and then celebrate the Holiday with the Mom and Sister Units. Huzzah.
I talked to an advisor at school halfway through my first degree and she helped me a lot. It is weird how baggage from past times can influence your decisions even when you thought that there is no connection. Fasting a day before the Eid, is it typical for your community? Here it's rather rare to do that
I like the fact that the family is kinda forced to sit on one table and eat. Usually everyone eats whenever he/she gets home. I don't do Ramadan in europe. It gets dark at 11pm in germany >< and doing it alone sucks Never thought to fast when stressed, should try it sometime. How long do you fast for when you do that?
Same as any regular Ramadan day, but depending I might allow myself water. It really puts things into perspective for me. Also I TOTALLY hear you about doing it alone, it's garbage. There a local mosque you could check out to do it? I know mine has community iftars every day of Ramadan.
