sad twist of fate ..

It turns out that my dad is going to the Middle East on June 14th. He's going Dubai to be exact. He'll take a short trip to Pakistan too from there to visit the rest of my family. My mom and the siblings have been there for about two weeks now. So, in short, the whole family has gone and visited the Middle East and Pakistan. While I sit here and dream of going.

I could go but I've decided to hang on and wait till a better time and an oppotunity when i have more money. Plus, if I go now, I won't have enough money saved up for school and that is a priority above all. There is no use to go now since half the fun is shopping and spending money with cousins and family. So, here I am, biding my time.

I can't help but feel left out. But, I know it wasn't on purpose. My dad was gonna stay here all summer but an attractive business opportunity has come up and he just had to go. He'll be back in 15 days anyway.. still, a trip to Dubai is a trip to Dubai. Those who have been there know exactly what I'm talking about.

June 14th was also supposed to be the day I took my LSATs. However, I have postponed the test. I am not ready for it and I just don't wanna walk into it and not do well. So, it's prudent to postpone and write it in October when I have had much more time to get familiar with the material. In a way, the day I was dreading has now become the day that I am looking forward to. I'm gonna have the house to myself for 15 days and I am not unhappy about the prospect. Hopefully, my dad will bring me back an I-Pod at a dirth cheap price and my nerves will settle down for a while.

If I am missing the Mid-East so much now, I don't even know what I'll do during the winter .... this sucks big time. There, I said it.
