It feels odd to be 17, I cant believe I have been the part of this planet for 17 mere years & seen so much already. On the strike of 12, I wanted to do something special, something that would make a good start for the new chapter of my life, and nothing was better then touching my forehead on the prayer mat, thanking Allah for the 17 blessed years, for being in my life, for giving me what I have, and taking away precious things and giving me another reason to thank him more.
My phone has not been quiet since 12:00am PST, and even a single text message from Pakistan, gets me excited and puts a big smile on my face, just like seeing an Indian speaking Hindi in Wal-mart and I follow them like a creeper, just to hear something familiar.
For my birthday here in America, since I turned 17 I could watch a Rated-R movie, so that's what we did to celebrate, and I did the illegal job of sneaking in my 16 year old friend which I must say was one awesome feat! Everyone at school kept wishing me but half of them I couldn't even recognize who they were, thanks to facebook! Stalker Status, much?
Its just great being 17 :). next year I'll be 18 ... and life goes on.
P.S I got a scholarship for Mary Baldwin College :). One exciting news for the birthday!
