Credit

Well, as you know, yesterday was my last day of massage class. Whoopee!!! People kept calling me 'sweetie' and 'dearie' (like my grandma) and they kept saying, "Good job! For a little girl, that's a great job!" I'm not a little girl! So I was extremely offended and I was like 'hehe'. Then we had to leave at like 7:45 pm so we could go to the masjid to break fast. Before we left, we had to get out certificates. And guess what? We both got eight credit hours! Oh and BTW, 'we' refers to me and my dad.

I was like the first one there, well, not really, someone named D was there with her kid named Hl. Hl was drinking and D was getting the dates and drinks ready. Then D sent Hl to the men's side to do some errands, like getting soup and all. Then people came, and someone brought rice. She saw me and asked, "You're alone?"
And I said, "Yeah."
Then she said, "Where's S?"
I said, "She's gonna come later."
Well, at least she didn't ask for my mom. Grr, I hate when people ask for her even though I already tell them she is at home doing things!

Anyways. After the Maghrib prayer Abwadab took me home to finish up iftar and then S and mom got ready to go. Btw we ate our Mexicans and they are really good! No I'm not a cannibal dummy, I'm talking about the brownies! No I'm not racist either. Well maybe I am a little bit. :P

So while S was getting ready, H came in the room and I showed him my certificate. For some reason they were both really amazed that I got eight credit hours.

So we got Z ready to go n then we went to the masjid. We prayed Isha, then Terawih, then we got to stay a li'l longer because Abi asked me if I wanted to and I said yes. So S and I went outside with our friend Sandy (well that's not her real name but I wouldn't really tell it to you would I?) to the masjid's playground.

H and his friend M came and played while we talked, and then they left after women came out of the women's side to leave.

Play Party!

The performance today was amazing. So the first play went on, and my only part in it was to pour a box of tin cans over a cardboard 'closet door' to make a 'monumental crash'. My part in the other play was being H's cousin. H's name in the play was Simon. My mom did take videos and pictures, but I don't think it would be safe to post them here.
After the two plays, there was an awards ceremony. First, a boy got his certificate. Then it was my and H's turn! H got the Mr. Engineer Award, and I got the Right Hand Gal Award.
Then, we left the theatre and went to the clinic to present our projects. Ours (H, me, and another kid) was an animation on division, as I mentioned in the previous post.
After everything happened, we went to the big room and got cupcakes with fancy rainbow frosting. There was also red and orange punch.
Then, it was time to go.

Now Camp is Really Extinct!

Today was the last day of camp. We ate our cookies for snack today. H and I couldn't eat the cookies he and the other group made, because they had vanilla. So I just ate mine. It was so crunchy. The roof of my mouth hurt.
Here are the games I have played in camp so far (Might not be all, I forgot some of the names):

Who Started the Motion?
Making Rain
Barnyard Animals
Sound Motion
I Have a Watch
Whisper Shaft
Duck, Duck, Question Mark
Simon Says
Sharks and Minnows
Lemonade
Machines
One Word Story
The Prince of Paris
The Name Game

And that's all I remember...there was a lot more, I'm sure...

Tomorrow will be the play. We are presenting plays based on the books Noisy Nora and The Doorbell Rang. Then me, H, and another kid will be presenting our animation on division.
Then there will be cake and an awards ceremony. Yay!

It will be from 12:30 to 1:35, supposedly.

Tell you what happens tomorrow,

Camp is Extinct!

Tomorrow is the last day of camp. The play is on Thursday.
Tomorrow we get to eat the cookies we made today (they're called Bird's Nest Cookies (I'm in the Bird's Nest group)).
Today I played a game called Apples to Apples with my group. It was so funny, dude!
We have to finish our animation on division with our group.

Yay! Summer!

New Things:
Summer classes, friendship bracelets, and traveling. Oh, and I also have something to tell you about Ramadan this year.

My summer class is kinda cacat*. It is called Reader's Theatre. Tomorrow is the last week of it. The play is on Thursday. What we exactly do is we do a play based on a book. It is from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM. At the end of the day, we get snacks. Wahoo.

The friendship bracelets all started last Sunday. The person who takes us to volunteer at the animal shelter took us to an office and we made friendship bracelets. And today she took us again.

We are going to Dallas this Friday for a class. Our hotel has a stove and the beds are nine minutes apart, driving. We are coming back on Sunday or Monday.

As for Ramadan, Mom has planned something extremely amazing for us to do for Ramadan this year. We are going to study the history of Islam in some countries. We're going to make small mannequins and put clothing on them. Then, on Eid, we might make a pinata and give out treat bags at the masjid!

Catch you later,
N

Which one is better?



Oi! Aren't these beautiful? The backgrounds are blue and orange, because, apparently, blue is the opposite of orange. I learned that in painting class.
