Final Exam

Today i had my final exam in writing and for me it is the hardest exam. i have to improve my writing mark and also my writing skill and i was a little but stressed out. Actually i had a very bad exam. Before the exam the instructor said if anybody want to go the washroom it is better if you go now because during the exam we are not allowed to go out for any reason. i went to the washroom before the exam, so when i started to write my outline and begin with my introduction, i start feeling that i have to go the washroom again. Of course in this situation ithink nobody can think properly and it was realy bad and i felt that my stomack is going to explode really. i started to feel the pain so in this case i started to finish my essay quickly. i dont really remember what i have wrote. i think everybody was surprised that i finished early, believe me just because i had to go to the washroom. At the end i just hope to pass this course.

Destiny

Muslims believe in destiny and that everything is destined for us. we make choices and do what ever we want according to our feeling and our brains also to our religion, but at the end all the choices that we make are destined to happened for us. Life is a path we go through whether we do good or bad and it depends on us. Muslims believe in Heaven and hell after death. Lets say life is a school, if you do good things and take the right path you pass your exam if not you fail. the things that we do in life will determine our destiny after life( death) Heaven or hell. There is a saying which say<>.

They are different ways of making it. you can make it with its sauce and vegetables and lamp or beef and sometimes chicken or without it and with sugar if you wan and some people add milk to it sometimes.

Sports


One of the most popular sports in Algeria is Soccer. Everybody plays soccer and i do not know why they call it soccer and not football here in canada. we use only our feet in this game and they give the name of football to american football when they do not use their feets only in some part of the game, strange. i have been playing football since i was 5 years old, because in soccer you just need a ball and you can keep playing all day and it was always fun for me to play football and swimming as well. when i became 11 years old i started to play tennis and i became realy good at this game and won alot of tournaments. i won about 13 tournament cups and around 5 medals but i did not keep playing i dont know why, maybe just being lazy, and my marks went down.despite i was always the best student in my class but,,,,,,,. I think i have the ability to learn soprts quickly and be good at it, and i tried many different soprts like volleyball, basketball and handball anything that is related to a ball and i enjoy it alot. In football i got around 6 medals as well and played for a club for a while but soccer it was always fun to play it with my friends. here in calgary i dont play football that much only sometimes in the university and it is always indoor of course. the same thing about tennis, i guess there are not toomany people who play tennis here so i think i will try to learn how to play hockey.

Night in the desert



This picture reminds me when i used to live in Doha- Qatar. I lived there almost for 9 years and it is a small country and very rich with natural resources like oil and gas and it is one of the biggest oil exporter in the world with very small population. most of the country is deserted outside the cities and it is very good place to drive in the sand mountains if you are risk taker becuae it is very dangerous and scary. That night was a big party going on and it was called dune party. It was in the desert where the bands play their music. Everybody brought his tent to sleep over becuase it was two nights party. You can party at night time and swim in the morning or drive over the dunes. That was me and my friends and it one of the best memories that i have there. The funny thing about that night that we brought evrything to make BBQ for dinner but we forgot how we are going to make the fire because we brought only food. We had to go back to the stone ages and think how they were making fire in that time but at the end we made it i don't know how. it was one the biggest parties ever when there were over 1000 people there and it was just different and alot of fun.
