Days of My Life

Hanging out with friends ..

I had a lot of fun in the last week, despite the fact that our exams are next week and still we find huge difficulty in understanding our subjects, or even pass our exams and quizzes .. everytime we have an exam we all get low marks (mostly zero), but it's very common in the engineering collages here.
Anyway, on the first of march, we celebrated the university day in Mosul, it's supposed that we don't attend lectures, but our professors insisted on examining us, we had a practical exam and two theoretical exams, and for the first time, I did well and finished at 10 am ..
In The university day, I felt like I am in another world, there were students dancing everywhere, loud DJs, students wearing folkloric Iraqi clothes, and galleries.
Then, lovely Najma, invited me to share her graduation happiness, so I spent a lot of time with her and her collage-mates, who walked around the university wearing their graduation robes, singing, and dancing all the way long, it was fantastic ..
Later, I returned to my lovely collage, hoping that within 4 years, I'll enjoy my graduation party, and invite her to celebrate with me.
Last week, I had a picnic with my collage to Mosul dam, we had lots of fun, even in the road, the guys kept dancing and dancing in the bus. Then we went to the electricity generation station which is amazing, and then to a nice place near the lake, were we had lunch, then rented a boat (which is my favorite part), we played with water, and we were
completely wet after all!! We took pictures, videos, and played Frozbie , we had the most amazing time together.
Also last week, my classmates and I, visited the museum , the public library, and the books' gallery..
Last Saturday, we had a party, my dad cousin's engagement party, so last week was good, and I hope the coming days will be even better..
I'll have my exams next week, so I may not be able to write often ..
wish me luck.
Sunshine

Glad you all had a good time Sunny. That's the way college time should be. Those are some beautiful pictures. After you're done with college you can open a shop and build custom motorcycles : ) LOL

ENI Sunshine, It makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed a wonderful week. I love all the beautiful pictures.

I was surprised that Najima was graduating. I thought she had one more year. I think NHA has two more years. I may be wrong at that too.

Shukran Gazeelan for your lovely report.

Hello,
I'm an Australian girl a year younger than you and I read about you in a magazine we have here called Frankie.
I just wanted to say that I think you are a very courageous and intelligent young woman.
I think Iraq has much hope for the future, especially with people like you willing to rebuild it.

Hi Sunshine!

I read a little about your story in the latest issue of Frankie Magazine in Australia. I just wanted to quickly tell you that I was very moved! To a lot of us around the world, war is such a distant concept. We see it on the television or in the newspapers but we're so detached from it. Nobody really understands how it effects the common person like you or I. I just wanted to say thank-you for your personal views... the little details make everything so real and I think more people need to see things that way. Good luck with engineering! That's such a huge and impressive career choice! Stay safe and happy :)

Ashton.

You are truly amazing and awesome. Really, really an inspiration to everybody. You're getting publicity here in Australia and I hope that everybody in the world will know about you and your view of your country one day very soon.
Good luck on your exams, I'm sure you'll do fine. Don't worry about the professors, they're the same all over the world :)
Love, Jess

Dear Sunshine,

Today was the first time I had read your blog and I wanted to tell you how much i admire the strength you have in writing about your life and emotions.
Today i was reading a fairly new magasine in Australia called Frankie, and they had an article about you, and a link to your blog. I hope that more people will now know about your blog and you can spread your wisdom even further.

I hope you are well.
Good luck with your exams :)
