Eid Mubarak!

First off, my presentation went great! I was very nervous and apparently Joe was getting "nervous vibes" coming off of me, but anyway...I went up and gave my speech and I got quite a few laughs! I was very happy. But I skipped almost an entire section in my speech :( and it was a good one too! I was sad, but it's okay. At least I didn't stumble, yeah? And everyone seemed to like it, so I'm chipper.

Alright, so our fabulous weekend began with "chaand raat" which is the day before Eid where all the Muslim people go out and eat and shop for clothes and meet their friends. We went to a party that night and had a great time. Party number one. The next day (Sunday) was Eid. My favorite time of the year! We woke up at 6:30am and got dressed to go for prayer and meet all our friends and family at the Ontario Convention Center. Gosh, it was great this year. There were so many people! A lot more than usual. Probably because Pomona Mining Company didn't have it this year, so all the Arabs came to Ontario. It was great. Everyone looked gorgeous in their ethnic garb and it was nice seeing our friends after a long time. I'll try to post pictures up. After Ontario, there was a brunch at my house. Party number two. Mama cooked! In other words, the food was amazing. Everyone had a really good time. Later that evening, we went to ANOTHER party in corona at my mom's friend's house. It was fun. Party number three. We made some new friends. We were exhausted when we finally came home! AND I had a psych test the next day. Woop!

Eid this year was amazing. I've never had so much fun on this holiday before. And I got some cash. That's always great! Three parties in one night. That's the life.


'til then!
