Ramadan Kareem!!

I've been meaning to wish everyone a happy ramadan but you know how it is a little bit of this here and that there and before you know it the update is on the bottom of the pile and ends up being moved back till another day.
Incase you are one of the many people who wonder what Ramadan is let me explain ... Its a Muslim Holy month where in we fast for the whole month each day from sunrise to sunset we do not eat or drink at all. If your next question is why, then the answer to that is we identify with the poor and needy, who are hungry but are unable to feed themselves. At the end of the month we are required to give back about 1% of our wealth earned that year to the poor as a sort of cleansing, and also to invest in God, and people and trust that we'll be repaid many times over.
Trust me while you're starving or extremely thirsty and your friends are eating in front of you, you appreciate that you can afford to eat when you are hungry and that when the sun sets, you get to eat. Remember the next time you're incredibly hungry and you get to eat, that there's someone out there in the world who is hungrier than you are and still won't get to eat. Talk about food for thought huh...

Can hardly believe there's only five weeks of school left!!Where has all the time gone? It seems in every class we're working on the final projects.
currently reading " not a penny more, not a penny less" by Jeffrey Archer, I remember when I was younger there was a tv series by the same name I used to watch with my dad, although the only thing I remember is that it was british, but I'm enjoying the book so much I can hardly put it down - in fact now I'm using it as a motivator to hurry up and finish my homework so I can sit back and enjoy it.
And if you haven't heard "Una Noche" by The Corrs and Alejandro Sanz then what are you waiting for? Go get it  Sweet Dreams!!
