Hey there =D It's been such a loooonnnggg tiimmeeee!! I'm sorry if i didn't blog lately or comment on any of your blogs it's just that i was soo busy you have no idea!
Well first things first, in August, I applied for Queen Rania Cambridge Student Award where you were supposed to write a 500 word essay about yourself and your ambitions and your perceptions of the UK and all that! SO, i did it and i sent it. I really to be honest didn't expect much, buuutt, the next thing i know after a month, they were calling my schools (the old one and the new one) and my cellphone (which i didn't bother to answer thinking that it would be my best friend Laith with some gossip about the girls in my old school as usual, haha) so they ended up calling my parents, telling them that they want me for an interview on Tuesday at 11 am (they called on Thursday) and how they were excited to meet me and all! :D:D:D:D I was like YYYAAAAYYYY :D:D:D:D:D:D :lol: but didn't really expect much either, i guess i was afraid to build up my thoughts and hopes on winning and not get it in the end. Imagine the bubble-bursting that would happen in my life at that moment! so i didn't expect much even though me and my best friend Aya got chosen for the interview, we were planning on going together really.
On Tuesday, we went by the school's bus to the British Council. We waited for like half an hour then they called for Aya as she had an appoitment before me. She went in , stayed for almost 40 min (I started to panic really) then they called for me. I was sleepy, tired, fasting and didn't have enough sleep the previous night so you can imagine what mess i was in! Anyway, I got in, waayy in. hehe. To find a woman waiting for me (who btw has perfect teeth, haha) in addition to the woman who escorted me in! They made me set infront of them, they weren't mean or anything, so... me being the usual Hiba, i didn't get the feeling of seriousness i am supposed to be having...NNNOOOOO .... i got the funny mood!!!!! :O and i don't mean funny-haha kind of funny.
They started asking me questions, not real serious kind of stuff, just normal personal stuff! Like what books im reading now, my hobbies, what things i do in my free time (i answered by eating and sleeping :S:S :lol:) and then the perceptions of the UK and all, and by the end of the interview, they said that i am a multitasking person! Persoanlly, when i heard that, i felt that i have scored more scores in the chances of winning :D:D then they asked me the trick question of why do you think we shoudl pick you, well i answered as if im the girl on top of the world, i told them that i ahve everything they're looking for, and i don't apply for anything just randomly, i apply for things that im 100% sure i am perfect for!!! :D:D they started laughing, the kind of laugh as in like ( haha, she passed, we're picking her) i felt it, didn't believe it! I thought i was just hilusinating! :lol:
SOOO, on Wednesday (after a week from the interview) i went to the bathroom, as usual checking for any msgs from my best friends on the other school (ex. Nura, the other Aya, Laith or Omar) but instead, i found 5 missed calls and like 7 msgs from EVERYBODY i know in my ols skl (New English) I was shocked, i opened Aya's msg to be written " CONGRATS YOU WON QUEEN RANIA'S CAMBRIDGE STUDENT AWARD " at that moment, i swear i could feel myself flying! I ran to the teacher's room to tell the English teacher that i won, they cheered and congratulated me! :D:D:D:D
There was something that pissed me off though, Aya didn't win :(:( i really wanted to go with her :(:( . But she was really happy for me! :) After school, i went to New English, they all congratulated me and hugged me and all! I hugged Nura the most ( she was so happy for me that she started crying when they first mentioned my name) i lvu her! haha! then i hung out with Laith abit and he made me laugh alot! I haven't seen him in like..... oh a week! nevermind then! hehe!
Went back home with Nura with me, we laughed and laughed, God i miss her even though i see her every weekend but i still do miss her! And we laughed even more when Laith and Omar called! They asked about the award and what do i get from it! Well, i get to go to England for 8 days on the British Council expence :D:D:D:D:D YAAYY! how cool is that?? hahaha! They were all soo jealous, and they started telling me what to get them and all! As if im getting any :P:P haha!
And now, my life seems perfect, hehe! On Thursday, we all went out and celeberated the award, Nura, Zeina and Laila got me a cake with candles and all :D:D I felt special! :lol: We went everywhere basicly! My dad kept on calling making sure that im having fun and all! I love my daddy! And then went home, soo tired! I slept like a baby, more like a dead baby actually! hehe!
That's so far for now! I miss you all! *kisses*
