For september..the real question is
So how are we doing on them goals?
Well, you would think that since I haven’t blogged ever since I’d promised to blog more that I must be far far behind on them…but NO! You’re wrong.
I am now blogging from the dentist’s waiting room which suggests that I’ve been so busy with all the rest of the goals that I only found the time and space in the clarity and serenity of the clinic. It is a sad excuse but still, there is no better distraction from the pain I’m about to endure than the humble yet stimulating act of blogging.
And the question remains: How are we doing on them goals?
1-I passed CFA level one
2-I’m traveling to London in less than 3 weeks to do my masters on the Environment and Development at the London School of Economics
3-I published a report at EFG-should’ve done more really but it’s good considering the circumstances
4-I joined Nahdet El Mahrousa but I honestly should’ve been more active and contributed a lot more than that.
5-I think I read less books and reports than the initial target….i seem to always get bored of the book half way thru and start a new one so I never finish anything…I really need to stop that and go from cover to cover, maybe they’d surprise me in the end. Avoiding predictibilty and seeking new discoveries and spontaneous acts does not mean trying out a new thing every time maybe it means be patient and see how things will actually turn out and maybe u’ll learn a lot more.
6-I haven’t blogged since new years which is pretty disappointing but to be honest I tried several times and had technical problems with publishing every time and knowing my lazy self…I had to put it away
7-I showed improvements with my family and some friends though there were ups and downs at many times
8-I changed my eating habits significantly and was more or less regularly excercising at leila’s Gym and owing to that, I managed to lose around 7-8 kilograms!
9-And on saving, I barely saved enuf to get me going in London, I happen to be a real spender but in my defence some was spent on CFA and applying-there has to be a trade off ya3ni! You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
10-My most enjoyable achievement is that me and Hesham are still together and I had the best time in my life with him. I can truly say that I love him more and more everyday and to a great extent, I wonder if I could’ve accomplished all of the above without his continued support. Love is at the end of the day my winner.
And now that September is here, the great thing is that we still have more time and there are still more testing challenges ahead. There’s still more time for me to fill in my shortcomings, to go higher with the little I have accomplished and with every step you realize there is still more and more out there to reach for…because “we are so young now!” . And so what if you never eat or sleep and make all your mistakes,,,your young and free and “when tomorrow comes, we can do it all again” J
My greatest discovery for this time: Love and Freedom. Forces that can move worlds and worlds…they move me from today to tomorrow.
Lastly, I was wrong..the question is not how are we doing on them goals..i do not yet know what the question really is, like always I’ve asked so much and forgot what it was I was asking for. I’ll look again, I’ll talk to new people, walk in new streets with my endless question “how do you get to…” and then one person will tell me how do I get to where I wanna be going..only I never really knew I wanted to go there but I’m sure it’ll be worth a try :)
