Coming to terms with life

Please excuse my recent lame posting. I have 3 assignments to do with deadlines falling for 2 on the same day :-O and the last one for a week later. The word count for each assignment is 2,500 words, so I have a total of 7,500 words to write up. This has resulted in some 'all nighters' - In which I stop procrastinating and actually get a move on, as my warm bed is waiting for me. This is impossible to do without some caffeine in my system. Anyway, not long to go now, then I should hopefully post on a more regular basis. When the missions accomplished ;-)

However, I do not understand why people mock others with disabilities or learning difficulties. I mean it can happen to anyone right? I'll tell you what brought this on - A friend of mine was talking to me about the notes a lecturer had prepared before the lecture was to commence. The notes contained missing words and spelling mistake, not the greatest and you could make out what he was trying to say. This lecturer has Dyslexia. This is a learning difficulty in which people find it hard to read and write. My friend commented on the lecturers Dyslexia. But I don't know...it was either close to home, but it touched a nerve. I kind of had to put her straight, but it does make me wonder. What would people like that actually do if God forbid someone in their family had a disability or learning difficulty? Believe me it's no fun, and I wouldn't change my siblings for the world. 

The friend in question's mother suffers from medical problems and other mental health issues by the sound of it, but she say's she's just 'depressed'. In my opinion she had no room to talk, but only God can be the judge of the words we utter. BUT...

Do people no longer fear the creator? He's above all mankind, why mock someone because of their disabilities? I've seen first hand mockery being made of someone with a disability, even one who has a higher IQ than myself or the next Doctor passing by. But he's still been mocked and made fun of, and believe me it hurts their loved ones. He's no fool, he has feelings just like you and me and he realises when he's being mocked. He has no physical disabilities and looks perfectly well from the face of it, but the world is an evil place. Sometimes I wish I lived on a little Island somewhere, away from this evil Earth and I wish I could take my loved ones with me - wishful thinking. All a child or person with disabilities need is love and attention  , there beautiful 'like diamonds in the sky' I can't bear it when people mock others disabilities, nobodies perfect. Please just ask God for forgiveness and pray for those suffering, don't mock them. It just touched a nerve I suppose, but what is the world coming to?

Children in Need

As many of my British readers are aware, children in need is a charity even during which money is fund raised for children in need (excuse the pun). It is a charity which looks out for the health and well being of children who are in need. This includes children with disabilities, and those from unfortunate backgrounds. A big sign of this event is...

Pudsey Bear

The aim of the charity is to generally care for children in need, this can be done in many ways and forms. The charity provides grants to places where there might be disadvantaged children, to create facilities which would benefit the children  This includes creating the likes of after school clubs, youth centers and playgroups which not only keep children out of trouble but can sometimes be the core to their head-start in life.

Taking a trip down memory lane, children in need has always held a colourful and joyous memory, full of fundraising and dressing up. I just hope that this very well established charity is still around and still running as it is now, for our future generations. 

When I see a child with disabilities or learning difficulties it make me rather sad, today I saw a brother and sister both with physical disabilities and possibly intellectual difficulties as well. Their parents/carers were looking after both of them, and it made me think about the future of children with disabilities once their parents have gone. It is sad, and if I as a passerby wondered that, I feel for the parents who have probably pondered over such a thought a zillion times. There's not really a smooth road trip ahead for the likes of them, and I just hope and pray that all the disadvantaged children out there, whether it's by disability or family backgrounds, have a happy and joyous life as all children deserve.

Every child matters :) x

Killing 2 birds with 1 stone

I realise it is WEDNESDAY, which means I have 4 days and then i'm back at uni. So I thought I should maybe get a move on and make a to-do-list. (yes, I'm only making it yet, no where near to completing it) So here it goes...

To-Do-List

Tort - Complete formative quiz
        - Do preparation for next week's tutorial

Commercial - Get a move on with Coursework :-/ (Due on the 6th December)

Criminal Liabilities - Do formative assignment (Due on the 27th of November)

Law of Evidence - Do formative assignment, (Due on the 19th of November)
                          -  the real assignment, (Due on the 13th of December)

Administration of Justice & Human Rights - Coursework! (Due on the 6th of December)

There we go, there's plenty of work to be getting on with.

I'd like to wish everyone a belated Happy Diwali! Hope you've all had a good time <3

Reading week?

Please excuse the one lame post per week...

I'm off uni until the 19th, woohoo! Now, shall we step back into reality? I have 3 assignments to get on with, and 2 formative assignments to do - So the 'woohoo' should step right out of my life...again. I also have a formative quiz to do :-/ I plan to stop winging and get on with it. My target is to finish at least 1 of the assignments this week and my 2 formative assignments, times jogging on as if there's no tomorrow :-/

I feel as if I have allllll the time in the world, when in reality it's only like 6 day's. I need to stop procrastinating, but how? I seriously need to get a move on. I have started my Commercial Law assignment :)  but i'm only 48 words in :-/ 

Anyway, I should stop complaining, as I will hopefully be leaping with joys in July 2015! That sounds as if it it such a long way away. Anyway I should get a move on, seen as my to-do-list is as long as my arm, and will leave you with a colourful pic stitch!

P.s I still need to share some Eid photo's (I haven't forgotten) ;-) x

So much to do, so little time...

I have "reading week" read as a week off uni!, week commencing 12th November. However, I have been loaded with two formative assignments of at least 2,000 words each. Here I was planning on lazing around for the week. To do the assignments, I will have to read! Yeah, yeah save yourselves I did know that Law involved 'reading'. A lot of reading will have to be done, too much if you were to ask me. So yeah I will have to do this, otherwise I would have loaded you all with more than one new post. Maybe two, or we could have stretched to three. But no, my lecturers have other plans on how I should spend my reading week. 

Yes I know, it's all I...I...I (8 I's to be precise, if I can count)

So would you all like to know the contents of the assignments? I'll tell you anyway...First, there's 2,000 words for the Principles of Criminal Liability and then another 2,000 for The Law of Evidence. 

So that's my to do list! On a separate note, why did my conversation with an old acquaintance go like this.

A: "Are you at uni?"

Me: "Yeah I am, I'm in my second year now. What about you?"

Some shocked expressions from A, why did you think I was stupid, or blonde or just plain stupid!

A: "Oh are you, I didn't know." With some facial muscles losing their stand. "I'm on work placement now, What are you studying?"

Me: "Law..." 

At this point A stares at me as if I'm something that's walked out of a museum, why? What's wrong with studying Law? Can someone help me understand? Do I look too stupid for Law or did A just think I was, and the bombshell proved too much? The conversation didn't end at this point...

A: "How come your in second year now?"

At this point I had to bite my tongue, as I was about to come out with "because I've finished first". But gave the smart ass comment a miss, and just reassured A I was in second year. 

After this stupid conversation had finished, a trillion and one thought ran through my mind. What made A think I wasn't at uni? Has A always thought I was stupid or something? Why was she looking at me all weirdly? Duh, I was so caught up in all this I forgot to ask A what she was studying!?! But I didn't plan on conducting an interview in the middle of a shopping center, so I suppose I'll let it pass. 

Just to clarify, I was quite close to A at one point. Very close, we were school friends. But I don't see what was with all the negative reactions, or was I just reading into it too much? I was always known to be the geek or swot or whatever else anyone wanted to call me. I used to do A's Mathematics homework for her during break, so she wouldn't get into trouble during Mathematics. But I don't know...just smile and walk away I suppose.

Eid Mubarak!

Firstly, Eid Mubarak everyone! Eid is a joyous and colourful event, even if the weather is reaching minus degrees. It was a little to cold for the glad rags, but we pulled through. I wanted to get some Mehndi done, but as usual I end up doing it on everyone else and when it get's to my turn, there's no-one to do it on me :( and I really can't be bothered to do it on myself. Same happens with the hair! Anyhow's, it was a time to get the heels and the meals and the wheels out! And they were certainly out! My shoes were ever so glittery and sparkly. I love my glitter! I wore a deep purple, although I wasn't completely satisfied with the mess the tailor had made out of my clothes :( anyhow, I got through the day. I wore minimal jewellery, my minimal jewellery consisted of a small pair of earrings, which are black and gold and which I usually wear on a daily basis, under my hijab. 

There has been plenty of food flying about, and plenty of relatives popping in. I haven't got Mehndi photos to share with you guys. But I do have some photo's of some bookmarks, the little one's friends wanted me to make them and which I drew some Mehndi designs on to bling them up a little, and which I WILL share with you all in a later post.  I do have a few photo's of my outfit and my sparkly heels, which I will be sharing with you.

I wrote this post on Monday the 29th, as I was having a few technical problems I couldn't post any photos. So I will be sharing the photos with you in a later post. Hopefully soon. I didn't forget to about my dearest blog, but the likes of technology held me back! Anyway, I WILL post photos, just in a later post!
