I survived a week at home YAY! Not much happened but I did learn a bit about myself and all the cultural/traditional blending I will have to do if I want to be muslim. And church is indeed awkward. But more on that later.
I'm a little annoyed that none of my muslim friends took the time to wish me Merry Christmas even though I took the time to email my teachers and leave notes on facebook for Eid ul Adha. I'm a little offended to be honest. Where's the return love?
I'm exhausted so I will not post about my trip at the moment. I wrote in my diary while I was away so I have some material for you all. I apologize but I simply cannot go back and read a weeks worth of new posts from everyone I watch. I may try to but if I skip yours don't feel bad :(. I also have a HUGE load of lectures to watch before school on Sunday including one that talks about the Crucifixion and another that actually says its ok for Muslims to celebrate Christmas. Within appropriate boundaries of course :).
Also, a moment of silence in remembrance of Ashura. May Allah's blessings be upon Imam Hussayn and his family, the family of the prophet and those that followed them on the day of Ashura. Ashura, btw, was Dec 27.
I'm glad to be back!
