The " dedication " post

A couple of days ago, we waved goodbye to the first member of this acclaimed friendship, as she walked down the aisle in her Black graduation robe and a matching cap. With grace, she glided down the stage, overwhelmed by her friends shrilling screams from the audience. One of us accepted her diploma with so much pride it was gleaming through her eyes. The three of us stood there so proud, that Maryam, with great effort, graduated as an accountant from the School of Business and sciences in Zayed University. The ceremony was simple, and beautiful, crammed with proud parents and friends. Four years of hard laboring, calculator punching, and many frustrating nights, she graduated, FINALLY !
We admire your dedication and appraise you hard work. Congratulation sister.

On another note, the four of us have been pre-occupied dealing with our own busy lives. From planning a spectacular wedding ( No, not one of us) To summer internships. Its been good so far, trying to adjust to the drastic changes. I on the other hand, have been trying to broaden my horizon to more intersting activites; from swimming to dance lessons. However, i am now sitting in our meeting room at DIFC, which is somewhere i am seriously thinking of applying to work at.

Unfortunetly i dont have time to share some of my continous frustrations with life, but i would like to add on to my never ending list a category of people that i am seriouosly beginning to loathe! You see, i've never taken the issue of some people who find it completly acceptable for them to share some of others intimate details with the world lightly, and i've always made it clear that when it comes to my dirty laundry, i would appreciate it if they just left it in the washing machine where it belongs. But, when this issue hit one of my dearest friends, it was time for an intervention. There will no longer be any forgiveness, and definitly no tolerance. It just aggravates me when personal matters of your own are taken so lightly by others and are considered normal converstation. It makes you wonder, if you can really trust anyone outside your circle of friends. Actually it just makes you wonder: Why ? I never really knew why, but that doesnt matter anymore i guess, since the damage is already done.

Till then, take it easy
