Each path that I can take is as treacherous as the next, and no path has a guarantee of success.
It's like jumping into a void without knowing what's at the bottom.
The way down is still going to be exciting, though.
Let's see how this goes.

365 Day Project, Day 11
You really should know which country's flag that is. But, in case you don't know, it's the United States' Flag.

Live Your Life
Good morning, humans.
And aliens.
Oh, and non-human residents of Earth.
It's August, which means that my last nine days of teaching at Bay View Academy are here.
And seven of those nine have already passed by.
I've had a really exhausting week, after the back-to-school work that I get swamped with and the electricity blackouts last weekend and then teaching again.
I have spent twelve years of my life here. By spent, I mean I studied there for eleven years and taught there for one. I've known this building and campus since 1999. Which means that it's actually like my second home.
Teaching was honestly the best part of going back to school. But delivering timetables when they change every day and getting surveys from the teachers about who the new Prefects should be-I did that like three times over-and running up and down the stairs twice every half an hour was not that enjoyable.
Oh, and I do what no other teacher does-stand at the school balcony where the stairs are and say good morning to the students I know and make the sleepy and tired ones smile-that was a lot of fun too.
It's the teaching part and meeting all the new students part that makes me want to stay at Bay View. I am, after all, a totally social person at times and love meeting new people and getting to know them.
So far a lot of students have asked me not to leave, and I would love to give them their wish, but yeahh. And most of those students are awesome. Two of them are actually making me a painting as a farewell present. And I can't wait to see those, cause those two can paint way better than I can.
I look forward to every new day as a new adventure, a new beginning, a new chance. So I'm actually enjoying my last days here.
But I'm leaving Pakistan on the 24th of August, InshaAllah, so that's like the next thing I'm looking forward to.
Oh, and before I forget, my roommates are going to be three guys, one Chinese, one American, and one Indian. So it'll be an interesting year.
Which reminds me. I saw Ted-the movie Ted. The one where this boy wishes for his teddy to become real so they can be best friends forever.
It was a REALLY funny movie.
It's 6am and I'm wide awake, a result of waking up early every morning and getting ready for school.
Oh, and it's a holiday today.
And since I'm a totally random person, I send a new random-and in my opinion, funny-text to two bloggers, two students and three cousins.
I went to the store the other day, I was only in there for about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a motorcycle and a cop writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, 'Come on buddy, how about giving a guy a break?' He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil necked jerk off. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having bald tires! So I called him a horses arse, he finished the second ticket and put it on the car with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!! This went on for about 20 minutes, the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. I could only imagine what the owner of the car will think when he sees all the tickets.
And aliens.

Economics
TRADITIONAL ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies and the economy grows. You retire on the income.
INDIAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You worship them.
PAKISTAN ECONOMICS
You don't have any cows. You claim that that Indian cows belong to you. You ask the US for financial aid, China for military aid, British for warplanes, Italy for machines, Germany for technology, French for submarines, Switzerland for loans, Russia for drugs and Japan for equipment. You buy the cows with all this and claim exploitation by the world.
AMERICAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You sell one and force the other to produce the milk! of four cows. You profess surprise when the cow drops dead. You put the blame on some nation with cows and naturally that nation will be a danger to mankind. You wage a war to save the world and grab the cows.
FRENCH ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
GERMAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You re-engineer them so that they live for 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves.
BRITISH ECONOMICS
You have two cows. They are both mad cows.
ITALIAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You don't know where they are. You break for lunch.
SWISS ECONOMICS
You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.
JAPANESE ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You redesign them so that they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create cute cartoon cow images called Cowkimon and market them worldwide.
RUSSIAN ECONMICS
You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 17 cows. &n bsp; You give up counting and open another bottle of vodka.
CHINESE ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them, You claim full employment, high bovine productivity and arrest anyone reporting the actual numbers.
BANGLADESH ECONOMICS
