The Weather Is Calling!

The weather's great, don't you think?

It's great enough for Mrs. Noor to decide that we won't be taking a lecture on Tuesday morning, and that we'll be taking a 'picnic' instead.

How cool is that!

It was two days ago; Tuesday, December 2nd.

We feared that it might rain or something, but the sky was absolutely clear.

The supposed lecture was at 8:00 AM so, lucky for us, the sun wasn't too hot.

All my classmates has brought something with them. And, not so surprisingly, the vast majority of the class has brought food. Figures.. (It is a picnic after all.)

Tea with Habaq!

Let me tell you something about the 'Habaq' tea;
It is a plant that looks (and, in my opinion, smells) like mint.

But it's not mint.

I never knew that until that day.

I can't even tell you how much they–they as in 4 or 5 girls at the same time–scolded me that day for not knowing what it was😂!

I really had to include that little anecdote in here!

We had a few card games, UNO, Scrabble and Mind Stretchers.

We were a lot. So the only two games that fitted our number were the card games and UNO.

I really wish I could've brought my camera so I can document the whole thing more beautifully and take more pictures to be fair to the amount of fun we had in our little picnic. But, unfortunately, college doesn't allow cameras inside campus..

Nonetheless, I took videos and photos from my mobile and they were enough!

Besides, I really, really, really miss making videos.. A lot.

So, that was a very good reason to make one!

We chatted, we ate, we played those card games, we even danced the short southern Saudi dance.. A little.

And we did all that, literally, in less than 90 minutes!

Morse so, that picnic actually made us get to know one another a little bit more.

'Cause when we're together, we always talk about college-related subjects. So, that day was a good day to be friends. Not just classmates.

Sometimes when you're doing something you really love, but always at the same pace, you'll end up either hating it or slacking off and away from it.

I really love college. But going everyday to the same classes and doing the same exact things could make me feel a bit sluggish towards it.

That day was exactly what I needed. (Along with all the Med students campaigns/field training that happens to be in our college–which I'll be talking about in a separate blog-post later in sha'a Allah)

Thank you Mrs. Noor! You have literally made our day that day.

It was great. And very, very freshening! ❤️

Here's a good advice:

Break the routine.

Because, “The less of routine, the more of life.”
