what i've been doing

well, in little words; spending most of my time in the library "trying" to study
exams will be done on the 15th, dissertation results on the 16th.

after 3 years...

of education in the UK, the Arab in me still in full galore when it comes to tybos (typos) on Word.

I'm hours away from submitting my dissertation, wish me luck!

rephrase

When you're asked to reference an article, study, journal or book you're usually required to rephrase. Yet I didn't come to the point where my grammar knowledge is failing me (I blame my school, we were barely taught any grammar, grr). Which one of the following is correct?

• There are a number of different types of design methodologies
• There is a number of different types of design methodologies

Does the 'are' belong to the "methodologies" or does the 'is' relate to "a number"? Can you Englishsters help me out please?

Kids don't fornicate! The label "fuck" is related to my university, I'm still working on my damn dissertation and I'm still not done (deadline: Monday the 7th).

i'm not ok

Funny how us Arabs are programmed to answer "El 7amdulillah", "Tamam", "Kwayyes", "Mnee7" when asked how we are doing. I'm not ok, I'm actually very sad.

As I write this, my hard disk is being regenerated. It failed me a couple of days ago, which led to my laptop not functioning.

I'm all over the place, I don't know if I sound by any way coherent. Anyway, yeah, Hard Disk failure which led to me losing all my artworks, files and photos that carry SO many memories.
Got an art school to apply to it and no portfolio, a dissertation in 10 days and no work spirit at all. Please don't suggest how could it get any worse, because I already done all the scenarios in my head.

hm, sad

parents, do your children a favour...

... and teach them a valuable lesson that will get them to deal with everything easier:

Since I was contemplating on making up a children's book a while ago, I am starting to consider what will I be telling the children that will help them get a better understanding of that short life. I seriously still can't find a point of people claiming that they don't want the childhood of their children being "stolen away" while they allow them to play video games where you get charged up by 'fornicating' with a prostitute! (hat-tip: Kenan)

What lies under the concept of Life Is Fucked Up? Almost everything they need to know. And here is what it's about:

1. Never expect too much, not from people nor yourself
2. The thicker skin you got, the more chances you get to survive in this fuckin' life
3. Keep blaming yourself for being a bad person, no point of pointing the fingers at this and that and that - it's all you; parents never bring you up, it's your own fuckin' journey
4. Friends are like bread, the more pour into them, the more soggy and useless they become
5. Nobody gives a fuck about you, except your mother maybe. Not even your "best" friend
6. If you have a bad habit, and it helps you relax whatsoever, don't consider it a "bad" one - just keep doing it and wave the bird to everyone in their faces.
7. Sleep for two full days every week
8. You'll meet more shit-heads than good people
9. If you got a problem, go complain to a complete stranger - drunk and passed out would be better
10. The more deep you try to dig, the more fucked up shit you'll find - so stay shallow.
11. Don't Trust Any Fuckin' Body on this Earth
12. Use the word FUCK, because it's possibly the most expressive word in the history of languages and particularly English.
13. Your friends are fucked up, your teachers are fucked up, your classmates are fucked up, your colleagues are fucked up and even your doctors. Almost everybody you meet is fucked up, we just show each others beautiful sugar coatings. So don't think you're the only one leading a fucked up life.
14. DO YOUR FUCKIN' ASSIGNMENTS BEFORE THE FUCKIN' DEADLINE BY AT LEAST 2 MONTHS.

Yeah so shoot me, all this list leads up to the fact that you should do your assignments early. Do you realise the amount of stress students get under from assignments. And then Psychology people wonder why most of the nation is fucked up.

Don't give a fuck about this post, if you relate to it by any sense - you're in a fucked up position just like most people out there. So here's a new thing you learn about yourself.

I think I'm leaving blogging quite soon...
