and then our exile

alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alameen!!!
it's a glorious night ... and midterms are now finally over. fini. khalas.
there is much to be thankful for.
midterms this year were not too happy. late nights, sleepy mornings -- in the end, my marks were good [read: great], but what do they matter when half of ramadan has disappeared with them? okay, okay, so they do matter ---a bit. but still. you know what i mean. school in ramadan = :@.
well... not much new here. life is good. death is good. northern lights are weaving a sort of magnificent tapestry in the sky above... the moon is bright, casting shadows clear & dark in their intensity. Now that midterms are over i'm finally looking forward to using ramadan for what it's meant to be used for... i go for i'tikaaf [inshaAllahu ta'ala] on monday evening. ten whole days away from the world! :) should be good.

shaikh jihad in taraweeh is awesome. all who can come should.
now i'm getting sleepy, as might well be expected... i'm off.
wasalam.
