Hey, it's Ahmed.

My school life's been a mixed bag lately. On the one hand, my classes at school are all rather interesting. On the other hand, I really hate doing 18 credits (5 courses) in a semester. Add the fact that everyone I know is pressuring me to get a driving permit and a part-time job, and you can see how I'm in a mess. However, I'm glad to have enrolled the classes I chose this semester. I especially love my philosophy course, which has a great teacher and even a good textbook to go along with it. I'd love to buy it, actually, but I'm basically broke for the time being. Also, I can see how philosophy is going to help me a lot in the fields of my choosing.

In other news, I've begun to like progressive rock more and more. I used to hate Rush because of Geddy Lee's vocals (I thought they were too "effeminate" or something, which doesn't really matter to me anymore). But now, they're quickly becoming one of my favorite bands; Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves are fabulous albums. Moreover, I've started to appreciate bands like Supertramp and Pink Floyd, which is, needless to say, surprising. I used to loathe Pink Floyd because, as a 13-year-old kid, I thought that they were depressing and crazy about sex and drugs somehow. (What an odd impression.) Anyway, I'm loving them now. As for Supertramp, their album Breakfast in America made me like the band very easily. I truly can't get enough of that album.

I think that's all I have to say.

Bye for now!
