It's true, i tell you! This summer,for me,has just entirely been about new beginnings...it's like..this chapter of my life....the one i've been living for the past five years...is now drawing to a close, and I'm entering this completely new phase in my life that's different from anything I've encountered before...
Summer sun and wedding bells, baby cradles and college apps...that's how i spent my summer this year...
Let's see...my brother got married, like I said. I got my results from finals and I have officially graduated with honors..I got into every university i applied to,none of them were ivy league material,trust me,so it's not that big of a deal...and...i'm also going to be an aunt soon...
In one day's time to be exact...the baby's going to be my cousin's...we're the only two girls in our entire extended family so we're more like sisters than cousins and have always been that way...so it's a pretty big deal...the baby's coming as if he were my own sister's,im that involved in everything, and i'm sure to be on nanny duty very often,that's certain!
Like i told you before, my brother got married. The girl he got married to is twenty three. You might think that's too young but where i come from, twenty two and twenty three are the ideal ages to get married and any girl who's still single when she's twenty eight is deemed unworthy. Anyway,the girl; Let's call her S. S is a chartered accountant, kind of heavy as far as her weight is concerened, and she has a brother and a sister. The brother i don't mind. The sister, is one different story completely...I really do not like her. She thinks she's so much better than the rest of us, she's pretty and thin, and she knows it. She's studied in a snob school half her life and that hasn't done much to build her far from pleasent personality. She's cordial, that's the most i can say about how she treats me...
And the girl....my brother likes her..but she's really not the sisterly type and she's very,very headstrong, so it's all just a little confusing at the moment...i guess we just have to wait it out and hope that my brother at least can point out that family is very important to him and that she better accord us the same amount of respect and love she gives to her own family...
And i finally turn eighteen next month! on the ninth of september,to be exact.and then i'm finally legit...i still don't know how to drive yet though..i mean,i WOULD,if only we had a car...
don't get me wrong, we're not bumpkins,we DID have a car,but then my dad sold it because it wasn't as fine tuned as it used to be,and besides, my dad has two company cars from where he works so it wasn't like it was being driven regularly anyway..but we still need a family car we can all drive you know,so my dad's on the hunt,looking for a car that both my brother and i can drive around in too!
other than that,there's really nothing much up.the usual.ten taliban militants captured in waziristan.five military operatives killed,twelve wounded,in action.life goes on.more of the same.
it's become so routine i don't even get fazed anymore...
i just hope,and PRAY to God we can fight this and drive out the extremism....for good..
