Moved Again!

So today, not today, but yesterday 😅 We got moved again to another class. I mean we, me, and some of my friends. So, we used to be in the same class but then some of us got moved to another one. We missed our old class. But we can do nothing. We must accept it. 
In the morning, I felt not familiar with the class. But, time has passed for a few hour, I've got used to it. 

It was cloudy as well today. It rained a little. In Saudi, raining is something sooooo great. Last years, I got confused when my Saudi friend took a shower in the rain. We as grown ups don't do that in Indonesia. But here, most people love rain  and they wanna celebrate the rain by taking a shower under it. Because, rain is sooooo rare here. I even only saw once heavy rain. I miss listening to the sound of the rain in my house in Indonesia when I am about to sleep. So, the cloudy day described our cloudy hearts since we got separated. 

But anyway, yeah, we still can gather in Sakan or in our Nigeria's sister room hehe.. 

Today, I studied in the study room. It was quiet. I am so happy if I find any room any place that is not crowded 😅 But, it's still cold there. So I went to the toilet back and forth like 4-5 times 😭 I hoped I didn't wake my Japanese roommate because I went back to the room many times 🥲 Who thinks Saudi is hooooot? Noooo! Absolutely not! It's just outside in summer. In summer, inside is cold with AC. 
And there are some rooms are still with AC also in winter 🥶

Nothing special today

Jadi, hari ini cuma di Sakan aja dari pagi sampai ini mau tidur. Bahkan cuma di kamar aja. Mati air dari pagi sampe jam 7 malam. Subhanallah. Terus hidup airnya, langsung beres2 semuanya. Alhamdulillah siap semua. Dan katanya ini mata air lagi jam 10.30 gatau sampai kapan. Rasanya kayak no life. Gimana coba nanti ga ada air waktu mau dekat kiamat.. ya Rab.. 
Tapi Alhamdulillah atas hari ini.. udah belajar.. udah siap-siapin semuanya juga..

......

Hi.. Can we just get back to where we were before..
We even feel so hard and awkward just to greet each other now...
We used to greeting to each other then we would have a little small talk.. 
But now it's so different.. 

I feel stupid

I am in the class with the classmates that they are experts in Arabic. I often feel left out especially when it comes to speaking and listening 🥲 So, this level, in the 3rd level, we have speaking examination. We have weekly exam in every level. Because we now are in the 3rd one so yeah there is one more exam. So, it's speaking and writing examinations now every week. 

Sooooo, yeah. I am so bad at speaking Arabic 😭 I felt so frustrated with my speaking exam 🫠 ya Allah please help me.. 
I finally realized that I didn't truly study hard in previous levels. So, I have to review again what I have learned and sacrificed my weekend night for studying 🥹 My Saudi friend asked me what is my plan for tonight. And I sadly answered, I am studying 🥲😂 
But that's allright. I better don't have fun than feeling stupid and left out 🥲

Walking in 14 degrees celsius

Tonight, my Tajik girl asked us in the group to hangout together. She got bored and I said okay. Then our other Indonesian girl wanted to join and then our Philippino girl as well. So, the four of us went out to walk to the market. It was freezing. For my Tajik girl, it's nothing. Because she is used to cold weather. But for us, Southeast Asian people, noooo way! 😂 
So, I said to them, let's challenge our self! 
Theeeen, Alhamdulillah, no need to worry, we arrived safely in the sakan 😂

For our Philippino girl, that was the first time, she walked that farther. So, congratulations, H! 😆

We talked for sure when we walking. And what more interesting than talking about love with your girls 😂 

I can't imagine if we will come back to our own countries and separated. I even don't wanna think about that ")
