volgograd-the fifth year

hi!! i've safely reached russia and have been here for about 2 weeks.another week and a half ramadhan will come.so lets start this blogging before i go to sleep
hmm about the past 2 weeks--since i came it's been about :-
-lost luggages,
-unpacking and cleaning,
-registration,
-frustation from registration,
-dermatology (for 2 weeks,today's the end of the cycle)-due to the weather and recent holiday giddiness,i get really sleepy at the end of classes,but some new multivits,motivation& ginkgo might do the trick,oh yeah,by classes, i mean the doctor's room in the hospital,for those who asked,
-lectures till 5.40pm(well,some of it,a few end at an early(?) 3.40 ),
-some serious spring cleaning projects(in my kvartira) or cooking projects the past sundays,
-a football league between malaysian guys(about 8 teams more or less,with minimum 8 people per team, they rented a space for the whole sem, we started training but the matches start this sunday)
-plans for some stuffs this year (we do what we can with what we have)
-and our first ramadhan overseas in autumn (usually it was winter with cold short days and rushing during class/lectures for buka puasa n maghrib)
-no internetting for lack of time,a modem(the current one has some problems),and an internet card( we kvartira guys use an internet card & dial-up..unlike hostel fellas)

what lies in store for us in the future?

-I dont know (fate- u can never be sure with it)
-a medical checkup (Alhamdulillah it's still not in ramadhan)
-a new cycle of internal medicine (in a class far, far away)
-more entries with pics if time permits, insyaAllah( this entry's photo couldnt be uploaded)(maybe some in russian?once i get the hang of writing in russian letters)
-no more siti or mawi here (i actually sighed in relief)
-a newfound,recharged spirit (normally happens when i come back from a nice vacation, but i hope it lasts)
-more football (i like the exercise,but i'm a goalkeeper,well the warm-ups can do,and the friends are the best part of it..i wonder how winter will affect us)
more russian faces,less malaysian faces, more new malaysian faces another year apart from me(gosh,how old am i now?)
-more cooking,and other daily responsibilities usually taken care of by our mothers (eventhough we helped some,a bit..rite?)

-what?less than 2 years more?already? i tried to remember my 1st year and when i thought about a 5th year that was like, so far away, like i'd be this perfected,mature me- older but better looking, smarter,more mature,more intellectual..well that sort of thing. i look at the mirror and i still see the same me (plus some scars from chickenpox-i got silly and scratched my face)
-i wonder how PPIM's doing but judging by the conversations i heard we'll have the usrah, terawikh and plus maybe an arabic language class for beginners (that could be me..so now i'm not even a beginner yet..a dreamer perhaps?hehe)
-thankfully our lectures start later than last year(2 o'clock),because some classes end at 1.that means some like us who finish at 12 can go to the mosque every friday (zuhr's around 1) and still go for lectures(though a bit late sometimes)

more or less that's it.my daily life in general. some targets i'm aiming for are finishing my 'to do' list (things like buy tea for kakak noni-sori aa tak sempat nak beli lagik), try juggling my time between rest,recreation, and responsibilities with more skill and not letting everything fall down on me (even a 22 year old can still have problems like this,i'd thought that the perfected 5th-year-me would be this smart guy with perfect self control and efficient time management,well actually my time is still handled quite well now..but i think it can be better if i try really hard)
well, who hasnt got problems,i'm just really really thankful i dont have bigger problems..sometimes compared to others my problems are just like hiccups to somatic diseases.and as such i will let myself perceive it,insyaAllah.alhamdulillah for easing my way..
