So its that time again. The usual tension of thinking you have forgotten something and whether you are over weight or not. What to take with you and what to leave, this is the annoying thing about travelling especially by yourself. You have so many things to think about and it does get really tiring. Inshallah I will be heading to the airport in around 12 hours and I will get some good sleep before my flight. It is really good to have an afternoon flight because once I had a morning flight and it was terrible. I didn't get much sleep and it was really bad especially when its a 7 hour journey and then a 3 hour journey after that. I forgot to say where I am going, well I am going to Peshawar. I guess most of you have heard about this place and yes I study there. I have my 4th year exams coming up in a few months inshallah. But the good thing is that its only two subjects, which is much less stressful than the 3rd year exams. But many people then underestimate this year and think it will be really easy and then take it too lightly. I will make sure I do not do the same mistake because I don't wanna go through the whole process of failing and then having to retake after 2 or 3 months. That would be a disaster and would kinda affect your final year a bit as you have all the clinical subjects in that one year.
It is nice that I'm hearing there has been quite a lot of rain in Peshawar. I remember back in june it was baking hot like around 45 degrees or 46 degrees on a daily basis. Now its more like 34 degrees so that is a plus point and something to look forward to. I am slowly becoming more used to the life in Peshawar as compared to my first year. I am more mature and I have set out a clear plan for what I should be doing study wise and how I use my time. I have lost quite a lot of weight since January and I plan to keep it up. I wanna join the local football club so that I can stay fit and also it would be a good way to pass time in a Peshawar which doesn't have much outdoor activities as compared to London. If you do not have a positive attitude in that place, you can dig yourself a huge hole and fall into depression. I need to stay away from negativity such as those who gossip all day, backbite and have jealousy. It's a really competitive society over there and everybody cares about what everyone else does. They waste their whole energy on that, how sad. So thats the way to prepare for that world, which is way different than the world we live in London or the West. If you aren't prepared you can fall into a lot of traps, which is what I encountered in my first few years there. Now I am out of that gladly and now I should be focused on my studies, which is what I went there for.....
I will miss my family and London for sure but I will not make myself sad as I going there to achieve something, which is inshallah getting a degree and becoming a Doctor. Time goes by so quickly, I don't even know how all those years went...
