Life Through My Eyes
So as I was watching Obama’s first State of the Union Address (SOTU) as president earlier, education was high on my list of things to note. As a college student right now who is planning on pursuing higher education (via law school), it is probably one of the two most important issues (healthcare being the other one) that …
I came across this blog yesterday and I was hooked. Like I have been constantly reading it every chance I get and will probably be done catching up on all the past posts by tomorrow (even though I should be reading for classes…). It’s written by an American women who is married to a Pakistani …
I saw this on my brother’s blog and i had to share it as well. What a remarkable story : a seven year old boy and his sister were found alive and in relatively good shape seven days after the disasterious earthquake that hit their region in Haiti. Here’s a clip:(The previous link I put …
Tomorrow is my last first day of college! Classes at Rutgers actually began today, but I have no classes on Tuesdays and Fridays this semester – so tomorrow will officially be my first day of the semester. It will definitely be a long day with work in the morning and then classes from 1 to …
I’m sure, by now, everyone has heard of the devastating 7.0 earthquake in Haiti earlier this week on Tuesday that has caused so much destruction, left so many people homeless and without food, injured countless people, and killed over 45 thousand people (and counting; the number is expected to sky rocket tremendously). Not to mention the amount …
Why is it that it seems like we wait for vacation for so long and then when it finally comes, it just flies by… no matter how long (or short) it really was. It feels like winter break just started, but it is going by so fast and already coming to an end and classes start …
The Baby-Sitter’s Club (BSC). You remember those books? If you are a female around my age (21) or even plus/minus a few years, you probably do. I don’t know about you, but i LOVED those books. They were my all time favorite novels to read growing up and I definitely grew up on them. Even …
For those of you familiar with the New York area, you will for sure agree with the fact that there’s almost always traffic to and from New York. It’s almost as if you are lucky if you somehow escape it. I don’t know if there’s anything I despise more than traffic. Oh wait, there is… …
I bought my own domain name yesterday and was finally able to start using it tonight. The old summaiyahhyder.blogspot.com is now summaiyahhyder.com (the old one should redirect you automatically). I’ve been wanting to get it for the longest time (well over a year), and i finally got it. I’m actually glad I waited to make …
This is pretty neat: today’s date 01022010 is a palindrome (reads the same backwards as it is forward). 01022010 and 01022010 Talking about palindromes in this sense makes me wonder though if it only applies to words (meaning, i wonder if there is another word for the same idea in numbers). I’ll have to find that out …
